Who went to school in Tudor times?
This clip examines what school would have been like in Tudor times, who would have attended and what the day would have entailed. We are shown how school was for wealthy boys and that parents paid in order for their children to attend. The length of the school day is also discussed and the consequences for poor behaviour. As a contrast, the clip examines the educational opportunities for those who were less wealthy.
