Boys from middle class attended charged public schools. The purpose of these schools

was not only to provide a quality education, but also to teach young boys independence. Later on, most of the former students became officers of colonial administration, military and government management. Apart from public schools, children also attended church schools, jewish schools and schools for girls.
One of the schools that provided education for the poorest children was Central London District school for Pauper Children known as the “Monster School” because of the number of the students attending the school (around 1,000).Picard draws our attention to church schools that followed scalled “Lancaster system” according to which the smartest student was supposed to teach his peers. In 1846, the system was changed when only trained teachers were allowed to teach. The Jewish school in London was established in 1817. In 1822, there were 600 students attending the school. Later on, in 1870 it was 2,400 students and with high probability it was the largest school in the world.

Outdoors, most Victorian children played in the street or in the fields and woods. Not many families had gardens big enough to play in, and there were no children's playgrounds. Rich families had playrooms or nurseries but poorer children played wherever they could find space. With ten or more children often crammed into one or two rooms, play-space for poor families was a luxury. Playing outside was the usual escape.

In the early 1800s, many children worked 16-hour days in atrocious conditions alongside their parents.
Being tiny, children could scramble up or down the chimneys of upper-class Victorian houses; some were as young as three years old.The job of a chimney sweep was to brush off accumulated soot in the chimney. Of course, they wore no protection against the rough brickwork, so their knees and elbows would be sliced and bruised until they developed calluses.
Other children were sent down into the coal mines at the age when today’s kids are starting kindergarten.Hurriers and fillers were small children who loaded trucks with coal by hand as it was pried from the coal face by older men.

Other children would then drag the trucks of coal along passageways often no more than three feet high.

Rich and Poor Children had vastly different lifestyles when it came to food. The rich children would dine on significant amounts of food and waste food too whereas the poor would have limited meals of low quality. A large quantity of the population were living on dripping, bread, tea and vegetables.
The diet for those Victorians who were very poor was terrible. Potato pairings & rotten vegetables were sometimes the dish of the day and for children born into this background this was exceptionally difficult for growth.
