What were the schools like in victorian times
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.
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!
A cane from the Victorian schools was often made from rattan that was grown commercially for use in the furniture industry. The practice of caning has continued to this day.
Board schools may refer to schools that are run by a school board, a group of people elected by the people in the school district to oversee the schools. In this case, schools would be called board schools because they are overseen by a school board. More commonly, boarding schools are those for which at least some students live in residences at the school while school is in session. These schools are called boarding schools because some students reside at the school.
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.
Doctor Barnado apparently started the ragged Schools in the Victorian era.
