Step-by-step explanation:

William Shakespeare would have attended King Edward VI Grammar School in Stratford-upon-Avon from the age of 7 in 1871 and left school and formal edication when he was 14. During his time at school, the week was five full days of work and halk-day on Thursday for 40-44 weeks. Over 2,000 school hours done, rather than the average school hours. From 6am - 5pm. His education would include Latin taught from the Tudor text book which is known as Lily's Latin Grammar and they would be expected to translate Latin to Englisj and vice versa. William Shakespeare He would study the great classical authors and dramalists such as Oid, Plautus, Horace, Cicera and Seneca. His teachers were predominantly Catholic, so his education was influenced by his beliefs. William Shakespeare was expected to speak Latin at all times in order to improve his fluency in the language. Any boy caught speaking English at the school would be punished. The punishments were severe and painful. Fifty strokes of the cane was not uncommon

This is only some information I know and I hope it's helpful..

Answer: Shakespeare probably began his education at the age of six or seven at the Stratford grammar school. Although we have no record of Shakespeare attending the school. It seems most likely he would've attended the Stratford Grammar School. Like most all of the great poets and dramatists of the time, Shakespeare learned his basic reading and writing skills from an ABC, or horn-book. Shakespeare's daily activities after he left school and before he re-emerged as a professional actor in the late 1580s are impossible to trace.

Explanation: I hope this helps. :)
