They were titled Dame Schools because they were often run by elderly women from their homes. They catered for the youngest of children, often from the poorest of families. Some of these schools also taught the pupils skills that would help them to find work when they were old enough, for example knitting or sewing. Whereas some teachers provided a good education, others were no more than child care.
