Girls are going back in time to experience 1950s grammar school education for themselves
00:00:00
Kind of worried about giving up all my luxuries. I can't live without chocolate
00:00:06
My iPod, I'm kind of really worried if the food's gonna be disgusting and I'll just starve to death
00:00:11
the most challenging thing for me will probably be discipline because
00:00:14
I don't like teachers
00:00:19
Like most teenagers today these boys and girls all attend co-ed schools and get taught in mixed classes
00:00:20
So, how will they fare when taught separately?
00:00:28
In the 1950s I think girls would do better, even that tears me up to say it
00:00:31
I think girls are more conscientious of their marks. Girls are really quite nasty and bitchy. Boys kind of like to
00:00:35
test how far they can push the teachers. Girls are good at shopping and boys are good at map reading
00:00:41
They'll study here at Charles Darwin Grammar School
00:00:47
Kitted out to 1950s standards with an emphasis as the name suggests on the sciences
00:00:51
The staff are all professional teachers
00:00:58
Specially trained in the methods of the period. A far cry from the relaxed approach these kids are used to
00:01:01
Please be upstanding for the headmaster
00:01:19
Would you sit down, please?
00:01:27
My name is S.R. Warr. I should like to draw your attention to our school motto
00:01:35
Solum
00:01:45
Supersunt fortissimi
00:01:47
Only the fittest survive
00:01:51
Competition, you will find, is the key word here at Charles Darwin
00:01:58
There will be competition inside the classroom where you will be taught in single-sex forms
00:02:05
You will be able to concentrate on the learning process without any distraction from pupils of the contrary gender
00:02:15
Teaching girls and boys separately in the 1950s had its consequences
00:02:28
Boys tended to excel in maths and the sciences
00:02:32
Well that wasn't very good, was it, Johnson? We'll try that again
00:02:35
Whilst girls did better in the arts and languages
00:02:39
But across the board they achieved an equal level of academic success
00:02:45
Today it's a different story
00:02:51
This lot reflect the national trend in which girls now outperform boys by 10%
00:02:53
So, will a month of single-sex classes help the boys to catch up? Or will the girls widen the gap?
00:02:59
Parents and friends, please leave the hall now
00:03:06
As they enter the harsh world of the 1950s, the boys and girls are immediately segregated
00:03:11
Girls, would you please line up. Boys, stay where you are
00:03:17
They will not only be taught separately, but also eat apart and sleep in different dormitories
00:03:23
From now on, the school rules dictate they may not come within six inches of each other
00:03:32
In Nightingale Dormitory, the girls are about to get their first taste of 1950s life at the hands of Matron
00:03:40
What I want you to do is remove all of your jewellery
00:03:49
After that, you will bring your towel upstairs and we shall remove that muck off your faces
00:03:53
Thank you, Matron
00:04:00
Trust you
00:04:01
Right, when you get upstairs to Matron, tell her that she needs to get some surgical scissors to that and cut it off, please
00:04:03
Thank you
00:04:08
Now, the boys and girls are about to get their first taste of 1950s life at the hands of Matron
00:04:09
Right, when you get upstairs to Matron, tell her that she needs to get some surgical scissors to that and cut it off, please
00:04:17
Thank you
00:04:22
In place of modern make-up remover, there's carbolic soap
00:04:23
Matron, do you have anything to get rid of bloodshot eyes?
00:04:30
Cut along, please
00:04:32
Is it life and death to have long nails?
00:04:34
Yes, they're my nails
00:04:35
Well, they're coming off
00:04:37
Fingernails and face, thank you
00:04:38
Nothing gets past the beady eye of housemistress Annabel Bryant
00:04:42
Fingernails and face, thank you
00:04:47
Especially not Ashley Walter's eye make-up
00:04:49
Close your eyes, please
00:04:52
Go and get rid of some of that mascara, thank you
00:04:54
It's not the mascara, is it?
00:04:58
It's not the mascara, is it?
00:05:00
It's not, it's my eyelashes
00:05:01
Am I going to pick them out?
00:05:03
We'll see
00:05:05
Okay
00:05:06
I would do it if I were you
00:05:07
Okay
00:05:09
The boys are in the charge of housemaster James Williams, who's a stickler for neatness
00:05:12
Some of you are scruffy beyond belief
00:05:18
We do not accept scruffiness at Charles Darwin Grammar
00:05:20
This bunch are for the chop
00:05:24
Oh
00:05:26
They'll get a regulation short back and sides
00:05:27
At the moment, you are nothing more than boys
00:05:30
Part of our job at Charles Darwin is to turn you into young men
00:05:34
All right, that's better, at least we can see what you look like now, Jefford
00:05:38
Idle fop Brennan Gunston has more to lose than most
00:05:42
Name boy
00:05:46
Gunston
00:05:48
I'm sorry
00:05:50
You what?
00:05:52
I see we have a problem with speech
00:05:54
I shall instruct you and you shall follow
00:05:56
I ask what your name is, you tell me your surname, followed by sir, and that is all
00:05:59
Gunston
00:06:05
Name boy
00:06:06
Gunston, sir, that is all
00:06:07
Yay!
00:06:11
A common problem amongst today's teenage boys is lack of motivation
00:06:14
Gunston is no exception
00:06:19
Hi, my name is Brennan Gunston and I'm really laid back
00:06:22
You need to know that I'm lazy and that I'm not going to do much work
00:06:27
I think I might be a C student or I should be an A student, which isn't too good
00:06:35
I don't think he really knows what's coming
00:06:40
I don't think he understands how much work he will have to do
00:06:43
My granny's told me that there's no way that I'll be able to cope with it
00:06:46
But I reckon no way is 1950s schooling going to be any worse than what we've got at the moment
00:06:50
I think we'll make sure that this is a really short haircut
00:06:57
Thank you
00:07:01
He looks like a different kid
00:07:10
No, I think that's fine, a little less weight on the head
00:07:12
Perhaps your brain will be a little bit more efficient
00:07:15
Back to your seats
00:07:18
Please change into your uniforms and change quickly
00:07:25
1950s education moulded children to fit into society
00:07:30
How cool is this?
00:07:35
There was no room for individuality and school uniforms were compulsory
00:07:39
Can you fasten your top button up? Can you do your tie properly?
00:07:43
Can this one do up because it's too tight? Look, I'm not being strangled
00:07:46
Not at the moment you're not going to be strangled
00:07:49
But if you carry on the way you are doing, I may well do so
00:07:51
And you lose your attitude
00:07:53
It's fucking horrible
00:07:55
Did you swear?
00:07:57
I didn't swear
00:07:58
It's disgusting
00:07:59
Look at me, I look like...
00:08:00
Ah, the hat looks like a chimney sweep
00:08:02
We've been given this, which if you look at it, it's like a pumpkin
00:08:07
You look like a right tramp
00:08:12
And I've been given Jesus sandals, look at these
00:08:14
I look a failure
00:08:21
Oh, sex pouch
00:08:26
Stripped of their 21st century bling, make-up and fashion
00:08:28
It's time for the girls and boys to come face-to-face at the school photo
00:08:32
Not forgetting the all-important six-inch rule
00:08:36
No closer than the edge of that chair, do you understand?
00:08:39
I'm sorry
00:08:43
Yes
00:08:45
Yes, sir
00:08:46
Well done
00:08:48
Thank you
00:08:50
You mind, lad
00:08:52
I'd better watch yourself
00:08:54
Everybody, when we're ready
00:08:57
One, two, three, cheese
00:09:00
It's really weird, the fact that girls and boys are separated
00:09:04
We are completely cut off with the six-inch rule
00:09:07
If you touch them, it's like, oh, my God, cooties, or something like that
00:09:11
Which is really funny, cos in the 21st century, you're used to going around hugging them as friends
00:09:14
It's crazy, because you're treating the game as if, you know, it's something really different
00:09:18
And we've only been separated for a day
00:09:23
Still to come
00:09:25
Wake up, you numbskulls!
00:09:26
Just six hours into term, and the boys and girls of Charles Darwin Grammar
00:09:30
Are being thrown straight in at the deep end
00:09:34
Caps off into your right-hand pockets
00:09:37
In four weeks' time, they will sit 1950s O-levels
00:09:39
But first, the teachers need to assess how far the pupils have to go
00:09:43
To reach the required standard
00:09:47
Right, you may now sit down in your chairs
00:09:50
You're taking three examination papers
00:09:53
Biology, Chemistry and Physics
00:09:55
Half-hour papers
00:09:58
Usual examination conditions will apply
00:10:00
Today, most teenagers sit a combined science GCSE
00:10:03
But in the 1950s, grammar school pupils sat separate exams in the three sciences
00:10:07
Biology examination, turn over your papers, you may begin now
00:10:13
The teachers have selected easy O-level questions
00:10:18
In Biology, for example, the children must write an essay
00:10:23
Describing how the human body digests proteins, carbohydrates and fats
00:10:27
Write clearly and legibly, using full sentences and using good English language
00:10:31
In Britain, the 1950s was an age of scientific excellence
00:10:38
So these kids have much to live up to
00:10:43
Back then, science was still seen as glamorous and exciting
00:10:48
It was an era when British scientists built the first nuclear power station
00:10:53
Unlocked the secrets of DNA and won eight Nobel Prizes
00:10:57
Today, science is in crisis
00:11:02
Only half the number of students now go on to study the sciences at A-level
00:11:05
And university departments are closing
00:11:09
Science, it seems, is no longer sexy
00:11:12
Our kids have been predicted top grades in their science GCSEs
00:11:18
So will this bunch of high flyers glide through their O-levels?
00:11:23
Or crash and burn?
00:11:27
Excuse me, sir, what does it mean by the fates of...
00:11:32
I can't answer any questions whatsoever, you do your best, OK?
00:11:39
Sorry about that, it's an examination
00:11:43
You will stop writing now
00:11:46
The kids will get their results tomorrow
00:11:49
But for now, there are matters more pressing
00:11:52
With a routine dorm inspection imminent
00:11:55
Under the school rules, 21st century luxuries like deodorant, make-up and chocolate are all banned
00:11:59
In my teddy bear, I have, in a way, if Matron's not in here
00:12:06
I have deodorant, razors, moisturiser
00:12:10
I put a slit in the side of Eve's sanitary towel
00:12:16
And then I took out the padding
00:12:19
And then I got some galaxy and melted it down
00:12:21
And made it into strips and put it in cling film
00:12:24
And put it inside the sanitary towel
00:12:26
Unluckily for the boys, the housemaster is on the prowl
00:12:28
There's a telltale bar of chocolate under Philip Donald's bed
00:12:32
Donald
00:12:39
Pick it up
00:12:42
You're an idiot
00:12:45
Who knew we had chocolate?
00:12:57
Who planted chocolate on me?
00:12:59
Place them on there
00:13:01
Pint-sized Donald needs his food more than most
00:13:04
Hi, I'm Phil Donald
00:13:08
I'm small, but proud
00:13:10
I've got a growth hormone deficiency
00:13:12
So now I just have to inject myself once a day
00:13:14
And I've already grown four inches in, like, ten months, so
00:13:16
Philip's going to have quite a hard time, I think, with the food at this school
00:13:19
Because he's a very fussy eater
00:13:24
I might have to stash some sweets in something
00:13:27
Hopefully he won't get caught, but knowing Philip, he probably will
00:13:31
In my inside pocket, I have a book
00:13:35
In this book, I keep the names of any of the pupils of this school
00:13:38
Who deserve detention
00:13:45
Yours will be the first name in the book
