In terms of the question as to whether a Headmaster (or another teacher for that matter) could administer corporal punishment at the explicit request of parents, even after the law was changed, it might be interesting to understand certain legal issues that arose here in Australia when corporal punishment was banned in state schools. These issues revolve around Australian court cases, and so certainly do not automatically apply anywhere else – but as the decisions taken in the court cases were based on English Common Law, I would think it’s at least plausible that similar rulings might be made by British courts in a similar situation.
