Ragged schools were started in the early 19th century by individuals on a voluntary basis. John Pounds of Portsmouth, a crippled shoemaker is usually seen as the first, though it's hard to trace exact origins. They were for the really ragged and poor children who were too ragged to be welcomed at the Sunday Schools. They would not have wanted to go anyway. these children were the destitute poor, often living on the streets. They were bribed to come into the schools with food often. They were taught The Bible and basics of reading and writing. Eventually the schools were formalised under the Ragged School Union by Lord Shaftesbury. They eventually joined the Sunday School Union. They were mainly held on Sundays, morning and afternoon classes but many held classses on weekday nights too. Eventually they developed clothing clubs, Band of Hope groups and many other social and educational organisations. The Ragged School Union became the Shaftesbury Society and survives today as a children's charity. There is a Ragged School Museum in London but it is only open a couple of days a week.
Doctor Barnado apparently started the ragged Schools in the Victorian era.

No, children did not have to pay to attend ragged schools. These schools were typically free and open to impoverished children who could not afford formal education. They were established to provide education and support to those in need.

Charles Dickens was interested in ragged schools because he believed in providing education to the poorest and most vulnerable children in society. He saw these schools as a way to offer opportunities to those who otherwise had limited access to education, helping to uplift them from poverty and ignorance. Dickens personally supported several ragged schools and spoke out about the importance of their mission.
Ragged is an adjective. It means tattered or jagged.
Ragged schools in Victorian times were non-profit institutions that provided free education, food, clothing, and shelter to homeless and impoverished children. They aimed to improve the lives of these children by offering them a safe and nurturing environment, teaching them basic literacy and numeracy skills, and providing them with the opportunity for a better future. Ragged schools played a crucial role in addressing the needs of homeless children and giving them a chance to escape the cycle of poverty.
