The First Schools In History

The first schools were set up by the ancient Greeks and the Chinese, a  very long time ago. There have been various sorts of schools in England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales for many centuries.

But it wasn’t until the Education Act of 1944 that secondary education was free for all pupils in England and Wales.

Schools around the world come in all sorts and shapes and sizes but most of them will have classrooms, a playground, a hall, a library, and a lunchroom where you can have delicious, or disgusting, school meals.
