Education during the Victorian Period progressed due to several acts and codes over the years. Voluntary schools, which the Church provided, were founded by the Anglican National Society after the grant of 1833 was proposed. The grant went to religious bodies, which were used to build schools.

These voluntary schools were paid for by private subscription and were spread out over the country.

The acts of 1876 and 1880 made attendance in schools necessary. During the first few years of Queen Victoria's reign, 30-50% of the children went to school. The most common schools were Sunday schools. They went there if they weren't working and while there they learned how to "read" the Bible. Its primary function was to fit people for their place in the social order.
