A pupil was suspended from St Martin's School in Hutton for likening one of his teachers to the late paedophile Sir Jimmy Savile, who is the subject of an investigation into claims of sexual abuse.
The boy was banned from the Hanging Hill Lane school for one day following the remark, which he made on October 18.
After receiving his suspension, which he served on October 19, he confirmed his punishment publicly using social media.
TV presenter and radio DJ Savile, who died in October 2011 aged 84, is currently the subject of a Metropolitan Police investigation.
It is believed he may have sexually abused more than 200 people over a 40-year period.
Mike O'Sullivan, head teacher at St Martin's, said: "The school upholds very strong values in terms of mutual respect. Any transgression will be dealt with accordingly."
