Even if you're not the biggest fan of school, you've got to admit it's better than the historical schools depicted in this series! They certainly had some questionable moral codes and weird punishments...

Not long ago, in Welsh schools, the pupils weren’t allowed to speak their native language, Welsh! There was no choice but to learn English. In the Victorian classroom, learning is dull and repetitive, but today’s lesson is not going exactly as the teacher has planned.

After Victoria became Queen, English children’s names became really weird. A girl called Never… a boy called Toilet… For one poor teacher, taking the class register is almost impossible!

Some of the schools in Georgian England were very rough places! In this video, a prospective pupil and his parents get caught up in a full-scale schoolboy rebellion while on a tour with the headmaster. They even encounter flying masonry and gunfire!
