Abstract
In the context of British communitarianism there has been almost no ed ucational literature which draws on this philosophy. The educational d ebate in Britain has suffered as a result of this neglect, therefore t his article argues that British educational policy will benefit if it engages with the challenges of recent communitarian debates. The artic le introduces and reviews the meaning of communitarianism and explores the implications for some education policies in England and Wales.
