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.
Dr. Thomas Barnardo attended London Hospital Medical College in England to study medicine.
they went to ragged school which was made by a man called Dr.Barnardo.
Dr Barnardo opened a ragged school for poor people and people who live on the streets because they can't afford to pay for education but Dr Barnardo could afford education so he taught them to do arithmetic ,writing and reading
The children in the ragged school were likely sleeping in overcrowded and often unsanitary living conditions in the slums of Victorian London. Many of them lived in cramped, damp, and poorly ventilated rooms with limited access to proper bedding or blankets.
