All Papers.

Chris Woodhead has died aged sixty-eight.

Old joke revisited:

Girl in Sixth Form: Don’t you think we ought to wait until I have left school?
Head of Ofsted: OK, I’ll see you at four-thirty.

A man has been arrested, appropriately at the age of sixty-nine, on suspicion of sexually abusing three boys.

As the school song had it:

“Life is not boring at all
While we are at Goring Hall.”

Daily Mail “Christopher Ling” Chetham’s

“Others told the Guardian newspaper that Ling began grooming them for sexual activity by asking them to perform naked. Another pupil told how Ling sexually assaulted her in the late 1980s, when she was just 13. While at a music course at his house in Reading she claimed Ling came up with the idea of rewarding her for playing well, and punishing her if she played badly.

She explained: ‘He asked me something like “How would they punish bad girls in the olden days?” and I think I might have even volunteered that they would have got a smacked bottom. I remember then getting a bit wrong in my piece and him putting me over his lap, pulling up my dress and pulling down my pants and spanking me. It happened more than once.’”
