* Class: Wealthy children often had private tutors or attended schools with more flexible schedules, potentially having more days off. Poorer children, particularly those working in factories or assisting their families, had far less free time, if any.
* Type of School: Sunday schools were common, offering religious instruction, but this was usually separate from weekday schooling and often not compulsory. Weekday schools for working-class children might have had shorter hours or less consistent attendance due to the need for children to contribute to family income.
* Location: Laws and regulations regarding child labor and school attendance varied across the UK and evolved over the Victorian era. Some areas had stricter rules than others.
While Sunday was generally considered a day of rest and religious observance, and some schools might have had a half-day on Saturday, consistent weekend holidays for all children were not the norm during the Victorian era. The concept of the weekend as a time off for leisure developed much later.
