Boys attended “grammar” schools to learn Latin. You can’t find anything, because there isn’t anything to find. There were no formal schools as you think of them. Boys, whose parents could afford it, might get together to hire a teacher to come to a particular village to teach. This male teacher was usually a churchman without a parish – who would teach until a parish became available.
Boys and girls learned to read and write English at home. (Why would pay someone to teach you your own language?) Higher education was church and male based. A boy of 12 or 13 could enter a school such as Eton.
See this website for more info:
Other well known “public schools” are particularly old, such as Westminster (founded 1179), Eton (1440), St. Paul’s (1509), Sherborne (1550), Bedford (1552), Shrewsbury School (1552), Rugby (1567), Harrow (1572), Uppingham (1584), Charterhouse (1611) and Winchester (1382)
