Meanwhile, an acting head has taken over his duties and the Inner London Authority has advertised the post.
In 1978, an ILEA survey referred to a school where 689 beatings were carried out in one year. It was later found to be Bacons School.
ILEA banned corporal punishment in its own schools shortly afterward but has no power to do so in church schools.
But Mr David Hart, general secretary of The Headteachers Association, said yesterday that differences of opinion between Mr Ing and ILEA representatives on the governing body eventually led to Mr Ings suspension.
We defended Mr Ing to the hilt, he added.
Mr Peter Ward, deputy director of Southwark Diocesan Education Board, said that corporal punishment started to reduce while Mr Ing was there and is now being phased out. ‘
