All teachers got respect from the pupils, l always remember we had a teacher called David Cocup who was a PE teacher, who had his own form, and one day in the playground, a elder boy hit him with a cricket bat, with a great force, and instead of pupils laughing and shouting out ' bundle ', the pupils turned on the kid, who was known as the school hardnut, and gave him what for.
Yes they di have school punishment, and you knew it.

Arthur, I assumed they did, but preferred to have confirmation from you, rather than basing our discussions on assumptions.
The reason I was looking for confirmation was that you don't seem to realise the oxymoronic nature of your proposition, where you state that teachers need to be able to administer corporal punishment, as this would stop bullying and cheeking, but then you go on to state that in your school, where corporal punishment was administered, not only did long-term (five years) bullying occur, but you mention above that a pupil assaulted a teacher with a cricket bat - corporal punishment didn't seem to work at your school, according to the things you have posted.
