On a personal note, I do not think I would hand spank a girl of this age nor indeed any girl after junior school, be it over clothing or bare.

Indeed as early as 1960 the HTA strongly advised heads, even in junior school to take great care when punishing girls that in no way could their motives be questionable.

This was applied to boys as well.

There was a move to cane on the hands rather than the bottom, even over trousers, in case it was suggested it was sexually motivated.
