∙ 13y agoCathedral schools were originally needed to educate clergy and monastic people. They were founded very early on, with the earliest known in Visigothic Spain, in 527 AD. There are some early cathedral schools that remain open to this day, an example being King's School, in Canterbury, which was opened in 597 AD.
Cathedral Schools took on the responsibilities of educating secular people at a very early date, and we cannot say exactly when. We know it was very early on. The need for education was clear, and when the Age of Migrations ended, the opportunities were multiplied.
Secular Schools also opened rather early also, but they had to be funded by someone, and people tended to be more interested in donating to Church organizations. Nevertheless, the Beverley Grammar School, in Yorkshire, dates to 700 AD and was opened as a state run schools.
Later in the Middle Ages, schools that were intended to be preparation also opened as an alternative with cathedral schools. These were the abacus schools, which were intended to train children for business. They taught arithmetic, and literacy in the vernacular. They also tended to be coeducational.
But the educational needs of the people who went to cathedral schools, did not change much. The cathedral schools, unlike the abacus schools, tended to be the places where members of the nobility were educated, and remained so for a very long time.

How many catherdals were there in the Middle Ages?
The Middle Ages lasted a thousand years. Cathedrals came and went, though most probably lasted. The number was very large.

If we apply that definition, there were as many cathedrals in the Middle Ages as there were cities.
