Power to restrain pupils

550A Power of members of staff to restrain pupils.1

a

committing any offence,

b

causing personal injury to, or damage to the property of, any person (including the pupil himself), or

c

engaging in any behaviour prejudicial to the maintenance of good order and discipline at the school or among any of its pupils, whether that behaviour occurs during a teaching session or otherwise.

2

Subsection (1) applies where a member of the staff of a school is—

a

on the premises of the school, or

b

elsewhere at a time when, as a member of its staff, he has lawful control or charge of the pupil concerned;

but it does not authorise anything to be done in relation to a pupil which constitutes the giving of corporal punishment within the meaning of section 548.

3

Subsection (1) shall not be taken to prevent any person from relying on any defence available to him otherwise than by virtue of this section.

4

In this section—

member of the staff”, in relation to a school, means any teacher who works at the school and any other person who, with the authority of the head teacher, has lawful control or charge of pupils at the school;

offence” includes anything that would be an offence but for the operation of any presumption that a person under a particular age is incapable of committing an offence.

Detention
5 Detention outside school hours lawful despite absence of parental consent.

After the section 550A inserted in the Education Act 1996 by section 4 of this Act there shall be inserted—

Detention

550B Detention outside school hours lawful despite absence of parental consent.1

Where a pupil to whom this section applies is required on disciplinary grounds to spend a period of time in detention at his school after the end of any school session, his detention shall not be rendered unlawful by virtue of the absence of his parent’s consent to it if the conditions set out in subsection (3) are satisfied.

2

This section applies to any pupil who has not attained the age of 18 and is attending—

a

a school maintained by a local education authority;

b

a grant-maintained or grant-maintained special school; or
