The letters to staff confirming their appointments had now been sent out and it was time to design the advertisement for pupils. In the end I decided to try something on the following lines:
Invites applications from Parents with girls aged 16+
who wish their daughters to receive a firm traditional education.
Opening September, 1953
The number of places is limited so early application is advised
Interviews will be arranged
Telephone Winchinfield 0171 787329

I placed this in the Top Peoples' newspapers and received an immediate response. In fact I was overwhelmed and was unable to answer them immediately. Thus my first job was to appoint a Secretary. I needed a young lady who would be efficient but pliant. She must be able to look after all the necessary records but also work VERY closely with me - intimately in fact. Again my search had to take an unusual line as the ability to accept corporal punishment was a necessity but could not be written into her job description.
I decided this time to approach several London Employment Agencies and interview applicants on the premises. I was sure that by now I had a picture of the person I was wanting and I would be able to finish up with a short list of three or four who could visit the Hall and be interviewed in depth. It worked out as I had thought and I soon had a list of four ladies who were looking for residential employment as Secretary and were willing to come for interview. I arranged for them to come at staggered times the following Monday. I also arranged with Mrs. Green for her to meet them beforehand and sound them out - this would speed up the process and prevent any disasters happening if I had picked the wrong person.
Everything went as expected and the first lady arrived for interview. She was tall and slim but well developed behind. She had lost her job recently because she had a sick daughter and was desperate for employment. She had good typing and shorthand skills and her references were impeccable. Mrs. Green had given me a nod as she showed her into the study so I was ready with my questions.
"Thank you for coming Mrs. Slater. I will ask you a few questions first to get some background. First of all why did you finish working at your last appointment?"
"Well Sir it was because of my daughter. She needs special care and although she is normally fine I cannot afford to leave her all day without the chance to check on how she is at lunchtime. At my previous job I had to work at lunchtime and sometimes in the evening as well."
"No problem here.. We have a small flat, which would be suitable for you and your daughter, and of course Matron or one of the other staff could always look in if you were delayed. How do you feel about a residential appointment?"
"I would enjoy that Sir, I am used to a large family so it would not be much different."
"Now one or two personal questions. At this school corporal punishment will be given when needed. The teaching staff has already agreed that this will apply to them as well as the girls. Have you any objections."
"No Sir. My Dad and Mum used to spank us if we were naughty. It was the only way with a big family. Mum would use the hairbrush while Dad used his belt or a cane."
"Good. Tell me something of what happened to you for example."
"Well Sir. If Dad got home in a bad temper and we had been playing Mum up he would send us all upstairs to take our clothes off and lay face down on the bed. Then he would come up with either his belt or the cane and give us six to ten strokes. We then had to go to bed without supper."
"Obviously a very sensible man your father. Now I want you to take some dictation and then type it up for me. If there are any mistakes then I will have to punish you. Do you agree."
"Yes Sir. I will just get a pad and then am ready for your dictation."
"Dear Madam X,
I hope that you and your Wife can attend.
(signed) etc
"Please let me see what you have typed. Hmmm. Not very good is it. There are at least three mistakes in it. I think that it will be necessary to punish you. Come here young lady."
She walked over to my chair and stood in front of me.
"I am going to spank you soundly. Have you any objections?"
"Over my knee you go, skirt up and panties down."
She turned her back and lifted her skirt to show well-developed buttocks and then her fingers hooked into the elastic top and wriggling them down below her thighs.
"That's right. Over my knee now and prepare yourself."
I raised my hand and brought it down with a Thwack on her right buttock then on the left. I continued this treatment until the bum cheeks were red and fiery looking. She did not flinch but just lay there. After about forty smacks I told her to get up and dress herself.
"Please Sir do I get the post?"
" I am not sure until I have seen the other two candidates but if you like to wait I shall be able to let you know by lunch-time. Get dressed , find Mrs. Green and she will look after you."
"Thank you Sir. I hope I get the post as I am sure that I will give every satisfaction."
She left the room and Mrs. Green introduced Miss Lavender, a spinster of uncertain age and as Miss Lavender turned to face me Mrs. Green shook her head.
"Welcome Miss Lavender. Tell me please why you think that this post would suit you."
"I see that you are promoting strict discipline and the lack of it is what I deplore in the modern school. At my last school the boys were all over the place, cheeking me and calling me rude names but never a punishment for them. The Head just said, boys would be boys. I ask you is that an answer?"
"I note Miss Lavender that all of your experience has been in boys schools, why wait until now before you apply to a girls school."
"I decided that I would like a change from boys."
"Thank you Miss Lavender, that will be all. I will write informing you of my decision later this week once I have seen all of the candidates."
Miss Lavender looked shocked at the shortness of the interview and left the room rather reluctantly.
A few minutes later Mrs. Green knocked and introduced Miss Maria Smithson with a wink and a nod.
"Good morning Miss Smithson won't you sit down."
An extremely attractive lady well shaped and exuding sex appeal walked elegantly across to the chair I pointed out and sat down. She crossed her legs, which were encased in sheer silk stockings, and her lifted knee showed that she was wearing a very attractive black suspender belt.
"Hmm, Hmm" Thank you for coming Miss Smithson. Can you tell me why you left your last post?"
"I used to work long hours at the school but when my boyfriend flew into England from Hong Kong I asked for time off. I was refused but stayed away. Unfortunately it was at the time of a Governors' Meeting and they dismissed me on the spot. I told them I would accept any punishment if they would keep me but the Chairman of Governors who was a lady County Councillor refused to accept my proposal so I had to leave."
"When you said ANY punishment did you mean that?"
"Oh, yes Sir. I had seen the boys caned and I would have agreed to that if I could have kept my post."
"You do understand that if you are appointed here corporal punishment is also carried out and all my staff have agreed that if they misbehave then they will accept similar punishment from me. Of course if you needed time off to see your boyfriend at a bad time for the school then I would certainly have to punish you severely. How do you feel about that?"
"I have no worries about that Sir. I am not averse to being spanked. My father Colonel Smithson used to be very strict and I felt his riding crop many times."
"Good. Now I am going to give you some dictation and any mistakes will be severely punished. Are you ready?"
"Yes Sir. I will find some paper and then I am ready for your dictation."
"Dear Madam X,
I hope that you and your wife can atend.
(signed) etc
"Please hand it back to me.
This is terrible there are three mistakes in this short letter. I must certainly give you a caning for this. Are you prepared to accept it?"
"I am sorry Sir and of course I agree to your punishment. Do you wish to carry it out now?"
"Yes girl immediately! Bend over that chair. The first three will be over your knickers and the rest bare bottom. Are you prepared for it?"
"Yes Sir."
She bent over and a very attractive rear it was. I went up and lifted her dress high over her back so that her flimsy knickers were exposed and prepared to start.
"Three my girl with knickers on and then you will strip for the rest. Not that I think that your knickers will be much protection."
I took the cane and placed it between Marie's thighs, spreading them apart just a bit.
"Turn your head from me Miss
..I do not want to see your face as I cane you, young lady. Six of the best. Head down and bum up. Legs wide apart. That's fine."
I drew the cane back and with a lightning-quick motion landed the first stroke squarely across the middle of Marie's bum. Excellent she had not moved but the horizontal line quickly appeared.
I steadied the cane and tapped her bottom several times before delivering the second stroke - exactly on target. I swished the cane again and delivered another screamer. I had got my eye in now and each stroke was half and inch above the previous ones. I went over and rubbed her bottom which by now was covered in weals and my hand slid down to gently caress the pubic hair which protruded between her legs.
"Now my girl the rest of your clothes off please and then prepare for the final three strokes. I promise you that you will jump about for these."
"All my clothes Sir?"
"Yes girl ALL your clothes."
I stood and watched as her hands went to the back of her dress and slid the zip down before shrugging out of it and letting it drop to the floor. Then she put her hands behind her back and unfastened the brassiere strap before she let this fall as well. Her breasts were well formed and the nipples stood out like nuts from their aureoles. She then bent over and unfastened the left stocking rolling it down and off and then the left. She turned the suspender belt round to unhook it before placing it on a chair. Finally I could hardly wait as she hooked her fingers into her knickers and pushed them down over her thighs before stepping out of them. As she bent over her red rump was well marked from her first three strokes and shone like a beacon. Standing naked in just her high-heeled shoes her bush of pubic hair thick and dark and I knew that I would find some post for this lady!
"Bend over the chair feet apart and hands gripping the bar. I am going to give you three more cuts with the cane for carelessness. Are you ready and do you accept"
"Please Sir whenever you are ready."
I took up my position and ran the cane up and down her legs. I was sure that this was going to be the perfect person for me to play with. The first three strokes had shown that her bottom was ripe for caning and I lifted the cane and whipped it in with venom raising a livid weal across her bottom. The second one followed the first quickly with the third and fourth in quick succession I gently rubbed her buttocks again and let my hands stray between her legs. This time they parted slightly more as though with an involuntary motion and my fingers could feel that the fig of her cunt was getting wet with her emotion. By now my cock was also beginning to feel the need for exercise and I had to ease my pants to avoid it sticking out. I lined up the bottom again and prepared for the final stroke. Her breath was coming in short pants and she was wriggling by now and again as I massaged and felt around her cunt was sopping wet with her juices which were by now also running down the inside of her legs. I prepared for the last stroke wanting to make this my masterpiece. She waited as I tapped and then "SWISHHH!!!","CRACKKK!!!" the cane struck its severest blow causing her to emit a scream of pain - the first genuine reaction I had heard. Again I went up behind her and massaged the soreness as she put her hands behind her to soothe it. But I felt one of her hands straying further and fumbling with the front of my tented pants gently stroking it as she found the buttons of my fly.
"Thank you Sir", she whispered, "can I help you now?"
She gently eased my cock out of my trousers and sinking on her knees took it into her mouth. Her tongue flicked the sensitive knob while her hand moved up and down. My temperature had reached boiling point by now and I was so aroused that I could not contain myself and felt the cum welling up and shooting all over her face as she licked it from around her lips.
We both stood up and looked at each other.
"I think that I can offer you a job as my Personal Assistant if that is satisfactory to you."
"Thank you Sir John eminently suitable. When would you like me to start?"
"You can start as soon as you wish. There is plenty of work to do."
"Fine I will start today then. I have by bags in my car and I will get Mrs. Green to show me to a room."
She got dressed and left the room and I reviewed the staff I had appointed. All spankers and all willing to join in being spanked.
These were my initial notes on the staff. I would get them typed up later.
Miss June Simmons. 25 years old 5ft 6ins and of slim build. She was a qualified mathematics teacher and wanted to join because of the lack of discipline at her present school. She clearly had stamina and had been willing to accept all of the punishment that I dealt out. Her bottom suggested that she had been spanking regularly and could certainly take anything that was offered. I would like to see her dish it out.
Miss Margaret Proudfoot. 25 years old 5ft 7ins and slim build. She was a PE specialist and was extremely fit. Again a lack of discipline in the school at her last post had persuaded her to leave. Her bum was perfect for receiving corporal punishment and I felt that she had enjoyed receiving the strap and a few more strokes would have been enough to bring out erotic tendencies. She seemed to have lesbian tendencies but may also have strong sexual feelings, which I intend to explore.
Miss Rosemary Browning. 23 years old and rather inexperienced she is one of our two English specialists. Height 5ft 2ins she is small but well built without being in any way fat. I am sure that when she strips I have the perfect bum as a target. I am looking forward to the challenge. I understand that she used to be heavily punished by her father and can take a deal of caning. She is clearly heterosexual.
Mrs. Angela Greenslade. 28 years old 5ft 5ins and medium build. She is our second English specialist. I rather took to her as soon as I saw her as she had a bubbly personality, which had not been ruined by her disastrous marriage. I had check her out on her initial interview with a sharp hand-spanking which had been well received. Again clearly heterosexual.
Miss Fiona Bradshaw. 25 years old 5ft 5ins and superbly built. She and Julia Frenson are well matched. Fiona is our music teacher - she was recommended by Julia who knows her family, the Bradshaws of Worcester, and suggested that she and Fiona could work together building up our pupil numbers. I did not have a chance to test her metal at her interview as I was running late but I am prepared to accept her on Julia's recommendation!
Miss Lavinia Letcombe. 26 years old 5ft 4ins she is perfectly proportioned. She joins as our Geography and History teacher. She left her previous post under rather a cloud after relations with a female student but my feeling is that she has the necessary qualifications and expertise to join us. Clearly a lesbian she also seemed happy to discuss heterosexual relationships. Like Miss Bradshaw I did not have a chance to test her because of time restraints. I have used the judgement of Mrs. Green who talked to her for a long time prior to her interview with me.
Mrs. Joyce Slater. 25 years old 5ft 4ins she has an excellent figure. She is my Secretary and is competent at shorthand and typewriting. She has a daughter who is handicapped and they live in a flat in the old part of the hall. I did test Mrs. Slater and it is quite clear that she is enthusiastic both as a giver and receiver of corporal punishment so she will be an important member of the staff. She will have her own flat where she can look after her sick daughter but still be available join in our activities.
Mrs. Joan Green. 45 years old and 5ft 3ins. She is a expert at all aspects of her job. She was matron of a boys school for nearly twenty years and has dealt out punishment throughout her career. It will be an interesting challenge for her to work with the young ladies we will have as pupils but I am sure that she will soon find her feet. Mrs. Green will be in charge of the domestic staff and over the next month will carefully select ones which she feels are suitable for this establishment.
Miss Julie Frenson. 25 years old and 5ft 5ins. A solicitor she was going to help me get the school started. This young lady is going to be a key player in our success I am sure. Her father is a Colonel in the Guards; she was a debutante in her year and has the entrιe to most of the 'top' houses in the country - and even abroad. I intend to appoint her Deputy Principal so that she has 'clout' when she visits her friends and suggests that they send their daughters to us. Superb figure, she enjoys all forms of corporal punishment and can accept a large number of strokes of the cane. She is also excellent with her mouth!
Miss Maria Smithson. 25 years old and 5ft 4ins. A beautiful girl who is half coloured and is very gentle in her manner. Her father is also a Colonel, this time in the Indian Army - which probably explains her colour. She is obviously very experienced in a school and will be very useful when we have to deal with the Inspectors or Education Departments. She also has other personal assets that interest me. I will be appointing her as my Personal Assistant.
I could foresee that we would have an interesting time. Now I just had to get the pupils, and I had an idea that Julie Frenson, Fiona Bradshaw and Marie Smithson would be able to produce many of those with all of their contacts.
