When was corporal punishment banned in Victorian schools?

Corporal punishment wasn't banned outright in Victorian schools at a single point in time. The phasing out was gradual and varied across different schools and even within different parts of the UK. While specific legislation varied across the regions, the process largely began in the late 20th century and concluded in different jurisdictions over several decades. There wasn't one specific year that marks a complete ban across all Victorian era schools. The term "Victorian" itself refers to the reign of Queen Victoria (1837-1901), making a single ban date impossible. The practice continued well after the Victorian era ended.
