Most students and staff recall that punishment at (Prep School) in the first thirty years or so varied, but was rarely sadistic. In comparison with contemporary schools, including (Brother Prep School), (Prep School)’s use of corporal punishment was always relatively lenient. Until recent years many (Members of a Particular Order) and some lay staff used the strap to punish certain kinds of misbehaviour – never more than six cuts per boy per day was the rule. Penals, a form of detention in which students were usually set lines to write, was another form of discipline. But for most student it is use of the strap that has made the deepest impression.
