Evening Standard, London, 20 October 1978
Top London caning school is named
By Sue Reid
THE LONDON school which metes out the cane to a girl pupil every day of term is Bacon’s Church of England comprehensive in Rotherhithe.
The 1000-pupil dockland school came out top of a controversial caning survey drawn up by the Inner London Education Authority — but its name has been kept secret.
Now the Evening Standard has uncovered its identity. And London’s anti-caning lobby is demanding a full inquiry into the “disturbing state of affairs” at the school.
