Pretty sure every primary school had that exact same TV across the land. In mine, initially, they didn't have a roof aerial and so they had one that sat in the telly, although it looked like a normal aerial, not one of those hoop ones you used to get on small portables (which were pretty awful in my experience). The teacher would then orientate the aerial until the picture was watchable, so we would glimpses, usually of the ITV Schools on 4 roto all snowy and the picture going mad for a few seconds, as the teacher adjusted it. A year later, they rewired the school and this involved roof aerials with sockets in each room so the telly could just be plugged straight in.
We actually watched 3 different programmes from ITV schools in the first year of primary school per week. I can't remember the programme we had on Monday but it was quite serious and boring. Our World, My World was on Wednesday and Lets Go Maths was on Friday. The next year, we got Stop Look Listen and Stop Go. Didn't watch much after that year. Watched How We Used To Live in the last year of primary school by which point it was Channel 4 Schools with the haunting nautical music.
At primary school, which was early 90s, we had one TV, one of those massive things on a trolley with the TV in a lockable wooden cupboard that was wheeled from classroom to classroom.
