Friends Reunited CP: New References

Secondary/High Schools

The now famous website where old school pals can contact each other, and members can add their teacher and school memories too, including some references to corporal punishment. Here`s some I found.

All new references from Friends Reunited will appear here before being transferred to the main lists.

All references/pictures new every time page is updated.


*Wendy Cranfield

1955 - 1958 Aveley County Secondary

I had the cane, 6 of the best. The reason I and 5 other girls got it, we went on strike over having to wash our cookery teacher`s husband`s dirty clothes.


*Mandy Bailey

1965 - 1974 Ashe Hall School

I had the slipper, the cane, the belt, you name it. But I was actually a swine at school, lol.


*Alison Cousins

1976 - 1981 Bacons, London

I got it FIVE TIMES! Think I must hold the Bacons record as the most caned gal they ever had. I think the school cane should have been presented to me the day I left as a momento!!!!! It's a wonder Ings, Drac's & Davenport's arms never fell off!

I bet I was the most whacked girl they ever had. During my time I got caned five times and the slipper once. Caned twice by Mr Ings, twice by Drac and once by Miss Davenport! Miss Evans said I was hopeless on one occasion. But HEY! I have done OK. Nice job, nice house, great kids and a loving husband!!! And after all that, I expect my kids to do well at school!!!!!! Ironic, eh?

*Leah Ashcroft

1977 - 1983 Bacons, London

I have some fond memories of Bacons and some not so! Like when in the 5th, I got caught out of uniform and coming out of a pub with my boyfriend. His dad was the landlord. Thought I was so grown up at that time!!!! I got sent to Mr Ing for that. He was totally livid! I said I'd only had two lemonades, but Mr Ing was having none of it. For my ‘double offence,’ as he described it, he chose to cane me. I was due four, but because I initially refused and mounted a strong protest about being caned because I was a fifth form girl, he increased it and gave me six - over the desk.


*Irene Steele

1962 - 1966 Blessed John Almond RC High School

The cane was brutal. Yes, it did harm me.


*Pauline Thomas

1976 - 1981 Beauchamps High School

I got the cane twice for smoking, didn't work, as I still smoke.

*Elizabeth Bennett

Yes, I got the slipper at school, yes it bloody hurt, there was five of us getting the slipper, I was first. When she came to the last one to get the slipper she was tired and it did not hurt my friend Wendy. It never done me any harm, they should bring it back.


*Wendy Pettit

1961 - 1965 Newmarket Upper School

Yes I got the slipper - don't remember what for. I guess I've always done things and said things without thinking - I still do - haven't had the slipper lately- got my bottom smacked tho lol.
There is not nearly enough discipline these days.


*Maggie Mayfield

1975 - 1981 Northfields Upper School

Mrs Baines (Basher)
A formidable woman, although to be fair, she did show great patience with me, when I was going through a rebellious phase when I was 14. Unfortunately this patience finally ran out when I was sent to see her 3 times in as many days. Out came the cane and I got six-of-the-best. The only time I ever had the cane at school and it certainly brought an end to my rebellious days.
Kid’s today could do with more teachers like Basher

Well it certainly worked for me. I started going off the rails a bit when I was 13 and ended up getting caned. It hurt like hell, but it put me back on the straight and narrow and I made sure I never got caned again.


*Brenda King

1970 - 1975 St Dominics Comprehensive School

I got the cane alot, but I never ran to my parents cos I would`ve got worse, lol.


*Lynne Sealy

1966 - 1971 Saint Wilfrid's Church of England High School

Yes I did have the slipper at school. Only the once & I made sure I didn`t get it again, it hurt!! Its a long time ago but I think it was for persistently talking in class.


*Karen Willders

*Mary Gallagher
