Primary school punishments

[Lozzie16]

There was an incident at my local park involving children ( mine as well ) from primary school , they were all In Uniform ( year 6 ) there was a lot of shouting at each other but nothing more , the children were filming each other and some members of the public , the school have found out and of the 20 or so that were there they have punished 4 as they are the only ones that they can identify from videos clearly or from pupil statements

The punishment for this incident while in school uniform is to have their leavers hoodies confiscated and they will have to earn them back with good behaviour

A) can they do this to just a few when others who are clearly there have not been like punished,

B) can they take their hoodies away , they were given them by the school

C ) it has now been 10 days without them

Thank you

I think it's fair. It would happen at secondary school and as year 6 they need to grow up a little.

When out of school, their uniform identifies them and they're representing the school.

I think that's a good punishment tbh.
Not too harsh and sets a warning to other children that bad behaviour outside of school while wearing uniform will not be tolerated

Thank you .

I think it’s fair enough to punish the ones where there is evidence that it absolutely was them and not those where there was no evidence. It’s quite a good lesson really.

Taking the hoodies seems like a punishment that fits the crime. You can’t be relied on to,behave in a manner that reflects well on the school, so you can’t wear a hoodie that shows you belong to our school.

Big respect to the school for doing this at this stage in the year. They clearly care enough about teaching kids proper life lessons, rather than just washing their hands of a problem that happened out of hours.

I’d support the school entirely on this one.

Punishment would be far harsher than taking away a hoodie at high school imho, hopefully the kids have learned a lesson from this.

At secondary the consequences will be much more severe than having a jumper confiscated. Look up the use of isolation units...

Sounds fair enough given that school gave them the hoodies, however if my sons school did this I would be highly pissed off as we’ve had to pay for the hoodies.

I think they've been creative which is good. Yes they absolutely can do it. Punishments next year in y7 which be much tougher!
