Thank you for visiting the Victorian School website. Since we started the website just a few months ago we have been amazed by its popularity and that it is already getting thousands of hits a month. We are working as hard as we can to get more information on the site, but we are also busy with school visits and helping with Victorian projects. We are fully committed to getting this site established as the number one Victorian School site, so please check back regularly, or sign up to our newsletter to be kept informed of developments.

Teaching Resources for those teaching about the Victorians

For many school children today, a trip to a Victorian School is a memorable experience that they will recall for many years to come. It is a great way to learn how things used to be. We have put together a whole range of things that can be used to enhance the experience. Not all schools are able to visit a real Victorian School or a created school, so using some of the Victorian artefacts found on this site you can put together a Victorian School experience at your own school. We also offer a visit from a "Victorian" teacher, who can come to your school and show you Victorian memorabilia, and teach about Victorian Schooling. This is the perfect activity for a Victorian Day.

Information for those studying Victorian life

We have also tried to include a good selection of material about the Victorian period and this will grow in the course of time. You can use this to explore and study for yourself. The Victorian era was a fascinating time and we are sure you will enjoy learning about it.
