Enforcement of discipline (including compliance with instructions)
I1I290Meaning of “disciplinary penalty”
1
In this Chapter, “disciplinary penalty” means a penalty imposed on a pupil, by any school at which education is provided for him, where his conduct falls below the standard which could reasonably be expected of him (whether because he fails to follow a rule in force at any such school or an instruction given to him by a member of its staff or for any other reason).
2
In subsection (1), the reference to conduct, in relation to a pupil, includes—
a
conduct which occurs at a time when the pupil is not on the premises of a school and is not under the lawful control or charge of a member of the staff of a school, but only to the extent that it is reasonable for the school imposing the penalty to regulate the pupil's conduct at such a time, and
b
conduct which consists of a failure by the pupil to comply with a penalty previously imposed on him.
