"Pastoral" pronunciation

After moving from state to private I've noticed this word is pronounced differently.

In my last school it was "pa-STOR-al" whereas in this school it's "PAST-rul" which is what I think I said before teaching (although not a word I used much before!).

How do you say it? Does it differ in your school?
