In October 2023, an [https://panathlon.com/panathlon-impact-transformational-change-reach/ independent report] showed that Panathlon's positive impact on pupils extended far beyond the physical and mental benefits of taking part in competitions. The research stated that Panathlon was:

* having profound effects on pupils’ ''education and development'' * ''reducing inequalities'' for children in areas of social deprivation and geographical isolation * ''providing choice'' in our programmes so that children with all kinds of impairments have activity that meets their needs * improving the ''competence and confidence'' of school staff in delivering inclusive PE and sport

In 2020, in response to the pandemic, the charity launched its [https://panathlon.com/sport/virtual-panathlon/ Virtual Panathlon programme], training and equipping school staff to host and run Panathlon activity safely in school and for pupils forced to isolate at home. In addition, Panathlon ambassadors and patrons, including Paralympians and sporting role models with disabilities, conducted Q&A sessions with pupils via Zoom to keep them engaged.
