In the 16th century, King Edward VI before he died quite young, was focused on bringing education to the small towns and villages of England and that included officially chartering a school in Stratford Upon Avon called, fittingly, King Edward VI Grammar School. This school is where all the boys, including William Shakespeare, went to school for their primary education. There are a lot of myths and theories about the education of young William Shakespeare, and our guest this week, Taresh Solanski, is here to walk us through the history of the school itself, sharing what was studied there, how long students went to school each day, and what it was like growing up in Stratford Upon Avon as a young boy.
