At my school, CP was always done on the spot in class, never in private, and never by the headmaster. If you were sent to the headmaster it would be for a much more serious reason than a caning, like being expelled from school or asking you to bring your parents with you the next day, or some other big change in your school conditions.
We all dreaded the non-caning headmaster a lot more than any CP in class. Even the teachers were scared of him and held him in awe, it wouldn’t usually mean good news if he sent for them for a chat.
