Relearning after the dark ages
St. Augustine came to England with the idea of schooling. He needed Priests to hold sermons, and boys to sing in the choir, England didn't have churches or a school system so he had to create both. He and his successors established two types of schools, the grammar school to teach Latin to English priests as well as the song school. The earliest dating of a school in England dates back to a quote taken back to 598 from Henry VIII when he refounded the school along side Augustine's church. -
