9 The slipper is unique amongst traditional British implements in that it was ONLY used on the bottom.
10 The result of all the above factors coming together meant that during the heyday of secondary moderns (late 1950s to mid-1970s), more TEENAGE girls had to bend over to receive corporal punishment on their BOTTOMS than in all the other years of state education put together.
However, it’s true that good written evidence of female c.p. in secondary moderns is rare. I can only add my own personal experiences from growing up in the E. Midlands. At my local secondary modern, girls were slippered by a designated female teacher (the deputy headmistress, to whom they could be sent by any class teacher male or female).
