Youngsters learned all about how tough it could be living in Victorian England.
Pupils from year six at Spalding’s Ayscoughfee Hall School enjoyed a “fantastic” trip to the Galleries of Justice in Nottingham , where they attended reform school.
Headteacher Clare Ogden said: “They found out just how strict school could be.
“They also re-enacted a play in an actual Victorian courtroom of a case for two convicted children and finished off by experiencing criminals’ lives in the very corrupt jail.”
