This snapshot provides material for examining photographs as evidence. It can also be used as stimulus material for looking at the history of education.

Suggested further activities:

  • Pupils could investigate the history of their own school, particularly if it is Victorian.
  • Pupils could interview their parents/guardians or an older generation to find out if schooling has changed from when they were younger.
