Victorian School Uniform

This is for Victorians under the departing Connex (YESSSSS)
I thought that if you were wearing your school uniform, you didn't have to have a concession card. I only catch the train home from school so I've never bought a card, but my mate got fined for not having one on the way home.

You do need a concession card, although many inspectors wont ask for one while you are in a uniform they will just assume you have one. They are really easy to get just ask the connex service desk and fill it out, get your school to stamp it and take to a station such as Southern Cross and get it laminated. I got mine through a Vline station.

I just need to know for a school assignment and i can't seem to find it in my research. Also, what was their typical uniform and what did it look like?

Public education in England really began in after the 1870 Education Act, when state funds were made available for schools for the "lower orders." Before that education was restricted for the rich and noble; in the 1830s it was estimated that eight (8) percent of males attended secondary school, and all these were exclusive privately endowed prep schools.

Before this, in the 1830s England made a first feeble effort to provide some schooling, chiefly in the form of Sunday schools conducted by religious bodies to teach the poor to read the Bible. The only public education was available in Scotland, where parish schools existed for all to attend supported by church and state funds.

I am really into gothic culture and emo music and stuff. At my old public school I always wore skinny jeans and Victorian black or white shirts and I had big black boots and dark black eyeshadow, but my parents are putting me in this new school with uniforms and stuff. It totally sucks. How can I add some of my style to my school uniform:
-short navy blue skirt
-white long sleeved blouse
-navy blue tie with light blue stripes
-navy blue or white socks
-navy blue blazer
-black flats
Also we aren't allowed wearing ANY makeup whatsoever. Any tips? thanks....xxpeacexx

Can I tell you that just because you have to wear something that is not you, doesn't mean it changes who you are inside. You can wear your style after school. I would check with the school before you try to change what they require you to wear. Maybe you could put your hair up with black ties or something, depending on your length of hair. Make the best of it, or your years will not be happy.

I'm writing a novel partially including teenage girl characters who attend an expensive all-girls boarding school in England in the mid-1880s, specifically 1887 if that makes a difference. I'm aware of the general fashions for children and women of the time period, but I don't know what they would make those girls in particular wear. A uniform of some kind, simple and classy, probably with a pinafore is what I had in mind, but I'm unsure and don't want to eventually be hounded by Victorian fashion experts telling me I was all wrong in my description!

Any help would be hugely appreciated. :)

Attire consisted of full length frock covered by pinafore, and overcoat should there be inclement weather. Girls would of course require boots laced over lyle stockings, and the whole effect was surmounted by a bonnet, neatly pinned into the hair with a five inch hat pin.

OK out with it! haha.
Besides regular womens clothing.
Right now I only have a naughty little school girl uniform and a lovely prom evening dress.
To add to my collection, I'll probably get a French maid uniform so I can clean around the house in. A womens tennis players uniform for when I run on my tread mill. Also plan on getting my very own wedding gown and one of those victorian style dresses.
I sooo can't wait to get dolled up in a wedding dress!!

I have a leather biker outfit, i love leather!!
