BBC Schools, also known as
BBC for Schools and Colleges, is the educational programming strand set up by the
BBC in 1957, broadcasting a range of educational programmes for children aged 5–16. From launch until June 1983, programming was based on
BBC One during the daytime, apart from coverage of major news events which saw the programmes shifted to BBC2. In September 1983 programming was transferred permanently to
BBC Two freeing BBC One to develop its own daytime schedule. The strand, named Daytime on Two, remained on
BBC Two until March 2010, later supplemented by the 'Class TV' strand on the
CBBC Channel.
