Pupils at Holy Trinity School in Wallington last week donned hobnail boots, flat caps and short trousers for a history project looking back at the Victorian era.

For two days, children and their teachers dressed up and had lessons as they would have been just over 100 years ago.

And in the spirit of the time, children who didn't know their times tables, broke their chalk or had dirty finger nails were given lines and dunces hat to wear.
