Product reviews for Beyond Wiping Noses

Before reading Beyond Wiping Noses I was completely in the dark about the research available to help teachers inform their pastoral practices in school. This book helps to cut through the confusion and mixed messages over the kind of pastoral care that schools can and should offer, and places it into a wider context of curriculum and pedagogical thinking that teachers and school leaders may be more familiar with.

Stephen's knowledge and experience of these matters, along with his genuine desire to see all children flourish in school, really shines through the pages of this book. He writes with compassion but also with an eye to the bigger picture. 



Beyond Wiping Noses needs to not only be read by pastoral leads but by all teachers and school leaders who play a role in helping the children in their care through the trials and tribulations of school life.
