The court ordered the child to be detained at Henry Gurney School until attaining age 21 because the offence (rape under s375(g)) is a serious offence punishable with ten years or more; the probation report and family circumstances indicated the child was unsuited for an approved school or mere binding over due to lack of demonstrated remorse and a family environment that condoned the relationship; both Advisers favoured Henry Gurney School and the statutory criteria in s75 were satisfied, justifying detention for rehabilitation and public protection.
