Sunday schooln.adj.

Brit. /ˈsʌndeɪ ˌskuːl/, /ˈsʌndɪ ˌskuːl/, U.S. /ˈsənˌdeɪ ˌskul/, /ˈsəndi ˌskul/
Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: Sunday n., school n.1
Etymology: < Sunday n. + school n.1
A. n.
1. Originally: a school for the general instruction of children on a Sunday, usually set up and controlled by a parish. In later use: a school or class held on a Sunday, organized by a church or other religious organization, for instruction in a particular religion.In the United Kingdom, Sunday schools are generally regarded as originating from the one formed in 1783 by Robert Raikes (1735–1811) in Gloucester. Schemes of a similar nature (but apparently not so called) pre-date this, including those of the Isle of Man (1703), Catterick (1763), and Macclesfield (1778). They aimed to provide a basic education for children from the lower social classes who were in full-time employment for the rest of the week.
