Most people are well aware that – for good or ill – corporal punishment was abolished in the state sector of British schools with effect from September 1987.
I have a sister – in law who retired as a primary school teacher a year ago in the autumn of 2012.On a number of occasions she has spoken of her former Headmaster and of how he continued to use the plimsoll on 10/11 year old boys into the early 1990s. He apparently justified his action on the basis that the parents agreed with him! Whether or not the latter was true would have had no relevance at all in law – the fact of the matter being that he was committing criminal offences for several years after the abolition of CP in state schools.
