Sunday School was invented in the 1760s. At that time a number of children in England had to work at regular jobs six days a week. They received no formal education whatsoever. Various churches put in regular schools on Sunday. Children were taught to read, write and do arithmetic. They also received religious instruction.

When the government established mandatory school attendance the Sunday school became strictly a religious training institution.
