Tyndale Academy was an independent, fee-paying tuition group in East London for children aged 4 to 11 years of age. The academy, based at the Hope Baptist Chapel〔(Home )〕 had an evangelical Christian ethos but accepted children from all faiths or none. It was established in 1999 and was named after the English church reformer William Tyndale who as well as being a Bible translator was a tutor of children. ==Corporal punishment== During its operation Tyndale Academy was one of a very small number of educational settings in the United Kingdom that still condoned corporal punishment as part of its sanctions policy. Although corporal punishment was banned in the United Kingdom schools, Tyndale Academy was able to continue the practise legally as pupils only attended on a part-time basis. As institutions whose pupils attend for less than 21 hours per week do not fall under the legal definition of a school, they are unaffected by the law preventing the use of corporal punishment.〔(TES – Teaching jobs, resources & ideas from the Times Educational Supplement )〕 This practice caused controversy in 2008 when the government discussed proposals〔(House of Commons General Committee a )〕 in the Education and Skills Bill 2007〔(Bills and Legislation – Education and Skills Bill )〕 which would embrace Tyndale Academy as an independent educational institution and so render its discipline policy illegal.〔 〕 〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tyndale Academy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
