From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

(English) School-Bred; a nickname dating from days when education was not so widespread [a palatal form of ‘school’ (cp. Ger. schule, school), Middle English scole, Latin schola]

Surnames of the United Kingdom (1912) by Henry Harrison

A corruption of Shulbred in W. Sussex, formerly noted for its priory.

Patronymica Britannica (1860) by Mark Antony Lower

Harrison says this is school-bred,” which is not very convincing. It may well be “shovel-beard,” as “spade- beard” was a common phrase, and in many dialects “shovel” is pronounced”shool,” but comes more probably from a place in Sussex called Shulbrede, the termination marking perhaps places where bits of open common land increase the breadth of the road­way, just as the expansion of the Norfolk rivers are called Broads

Surnames (1917) by Walter Parry Haskett-Smith

From Shulbred; a location name in Sussex.
