  • Ragged schools were charitable organisations dedicated to the free education of destitute children in 19th century Britain. The schools were developed in working-class districts. Ragged schools were intended for society's most destitute children. Such children, it was argued, were often excluded from Sunday School education because of their unkempt appearance and often challenging behaviour. The London Ragged School Union was established in April 1844 to combine resources in the city, providing free education, food, clothing, lodging and other home missionary services for poor children. Although the London Ragged School Union did not extend beyond the metropolis, its publications and pamphlets helped spread ragged school ideals across the country. They were phased out by the final decades of the 19th century. Working in the poorest districts, teachers (who were often local working people) initially utilized stables, lofts, and railway arches for their classes. The majority of teachers were voluntary, although a small number were employed. There was an emphasis on reading, writing, arithmetic, and study of the Bible. The curriculum expanded into industrial and commercial subjects in many schools. It is estimated that about 300,000 children went through the London ragged schools alone between 1844 and 1881. The Ragged School Museum in the East End of London shows how a ragged school would have looked; it is housed in buildings previously occupied by Dr. Thomas Barnardo. The Ragged School Museum provides an idea of the working of a ragged school, but Thomas Barnardo's institution differed considerably in practice and philosophy from those schools accountable to the London Ragged School Union.

  • Nazwą ragged schools (l.mn. od ragged school) określamy grupę XIX-wiecznych szkół w Wielkiej Brytanii, które miały na celu edukację dzieci z ubogich rodzin. W większości zajmowały się one również dostarczaniem takim dzieciom środków do życia. Rozszerzanie idei tego typu szkół w całym Zjednoczonym Królestwie wiązało się z zaistnieniem ruchu społecznego, który ją promował. Pionierami tego ruchu byli m.in. i . Pierwsza ragged school dla chłopców powstała w 1841 w Aberdeen. W 1843 utworzono tam również szkołę dla dziewcząt, a w 1845 szkołę mieszaną. W 1844 powstała , która gromadziła wszystkie ragged schools w Londynie. Większość z tych szkół nie korzystała z subsydiów rządowych, co było główną przyczyną ich zaniku. (pl)
