All public schools in the UK will provide free school dinners to those pupils who's parents dictate that they are eligible to receive such aid. I think that you mean State schools.
In 1885 there were school dinners: Free dinners were A cup of cocoa or soup made from boiled meat bones. Farthing dinners were Soup, bread and jam. Penny dinners were Boiled pork,meat pudding, vegetables. Lots of children had packed lunches still.
Ragged schools were needed during the Victorian times to provide free education to poor and orphaned children who could not afford schooling. These schools aimed to offer basic literacy and skills training to children from deprived backgrounds, helping to break the cycle of poverty and provide them with better opportunities for the future.

Victorian schools did not have toilets inside of them. It was very uncommon for anyone to have toilets inside their homes.
What were the schools like in victorian times
Victorian schools offered free education for children, making it more accessible to a wider population. They promoted discipline, structure, and a focus on academic learning. Schools aimed to improve literacy rates and provide basic education to equip students for future employment opportunities. Some Victorian schools introduced innovative teaching methods and incorporated new subjects like science and geography into the curriculum.
In the Victorian era, school was commonly referred to as "school" or "educational institution." There were various types of schools, such as public schools, private schools, and grammar schools.
Victorian schools in England were typically built in urban areas to accommodate the growing population in cities during the Industrial Revolution. They were often constructed in densely populated neighborhoods to serve the needs of the local community. Additionally, schools were sometimes built on the outskirts of cities to provide education to children in suburban areas.
Corporal punishment remained legal in UK schools throughout the Victorian era. It was therefore not banned during the Victorian period. It was not banned until 1987.
THE CANE!
Certainly all Victorian schools had corporal punishment, but the cane did not come into vogue as the favourite implement until the later Victorian period from about 1870 onwards. During the early Victorian era, 1837 - 1870 the birch was the favoured implement, especially at the great public and boarding schools. By the end of the Victorian era, in the early 1900s, the birch had largely fallen into disuse, and the cane reigned supreme as the implement for corporal punishment in virtually all schools.
