ABSTRACT
One of the most obvious and widespread manifestations of the growing involvement of schools in the area of Social and Personal development has been the emergence both in educational discourse and in the practice of schools of the notion of “Pastoral Care”. It is now being increasingly suggested that a “Pastoral Curriculum” should be an integral part of “Pastoral Care”. This idea has been advocated by several prominent figures working in the field, 1 and the practical implementation of the notion has been assisted by the development and publication of structured teaching and learning material for use in the “tutor period” situation. 2
