What were Victorian era schools like?

In the early Victorian times, only rich boys went to school after they were 10 years old. Prior to this both rich boys and girls were educated at home by governesses. Poor children usually went to free schools or Sunday School. In 1880 attendance at school became mandatory, until the child was 10 years old. There were up to 80 children in a single class, with very strict teachers. School would normally begin at 9 in the morning until noon. The children would go home for lunch and return at 2 until 5 pm.
