About NAPCE
NAPCE was founded in 1982 to establish links between education professionals and allied agencies who have an interest in pastoral care and personal-social education and the welfare of students of all ages in schools.
NAPCE's concerns are the achievement of students across the curriculum; guidance; personal and social education; recording achievement and the management of these processes in an integrated whole school approach. Our aims are:
- To support and inform those who have a professional concern for pastoral care;
- To promote the theoretical study of pastoral care in education;
- To disseminate good practice in pastoral care in education;
- To promote the education, training and development of those engaged in pastoral care;
- To liaise with other organisations who have similar objectives.
The Association operates through a regular journal and other publications plus its national annual conference. Advice on relevant issues can be obtained from elected Executive Officers at NAPCE. The Association is a registered charity with a National Executive Committee. The current officers of the Association are:
- Chair: Jill Robson (Hall Garth School, Middlesborough)
- Vice Chair: Mike Calvert (York St John University)
- Secretary: Margaret Roberts
- Treasurer: Ethel Southern (St Martin's School, Jersey)
- Journal Editor: Colleen McLaughlin (University of Cambridge)
