The headmaster of London’s most notorious school in the eyes of the anti-caning lobby, is to retire at Christmas after 18 months of suspension on a full salary of £17,000.
The governors of the Bacon Church of England comprehensive in Rotherhithe, suspended Mr Wilfred Ing in March last year.
This followed a row over statements he made to the Press about the Rev. Tim Wooderson, a governor, who had represented the family of a child allegedly beaten at the school.
After negotiations with the National Association of Headteachers, the governors, and the Southwark Diocesan Education Board agreed to suspend Mr Ing, headmaster for 32 years at the 1,000-pupil school, on full pay until he retired.
