Episode 3 of "Back To School" is on BBC2 tonight at 8pm. It covers the 1950's and the introduction of the 11 Plus exams.

Condolences on your sad news.

Part 2 of the programme is on BBC2 tonight (Thursday) at 8pm

A new 8 part programme starts on BBC 2 tonight at 8pm. Teachers and children travel through the years (starting in 1890's) experiencing how education has changed over the years. Judging how interesting previous subjects in the "Back To" series have been I think this one will also be informative and bring back memories when your "years at school"are covered.

A Happy and Healthy New Year to one and all
