Middle Park Punishment Books
We made a fascinating discovery this morning when we found the old Middle Park Punishment Books at the back of a cupboard. The books run from 1943 to 1968 and are a record of every occurrence of corporal punishment inflicted on pupils. And the reasons are varied! Disobedience, truculence, filthiness, laziness… and some slightly more unusual ones as you will see. Thank goodness those days are gone!
