The governing body or head teacher shall, when exercising that power, immediately inform the local education authority and the head teacher or (as the case may be) governing body.

A suspension under this paragraph may only be ended by the governing body.

The governing body shall, on ending such a suspension, immediately inform the authority and the head teacher.

In this paragraph “suspend” means suspend without loss of emoluments.
