I am in the middle of dealing with my child's school about punishing innocent children as they frequently take time off play and time off art and PE for some of the class misbehaving. My child is getting mighty fed up and it is affecting her confidence as she hardly ever sets a foot wrong and still gets shouted at and misses lessons she would like to do.
I have read the other threads on here but I can't seem to find the 'official' i.e. Ofsted, Dept for Education position on this...written down.
From what I have read (Education Act), a teacher's 'power to punish' applies if the pupil has actually done something wrong. Implied from this, if a pupil has not done anything wrong then they would not have the statutory authority to punish.
Is this correct?
