All Saints CE primary school moved to a new site in the village in the late 1990's and the original schoolhouse, located next to the church, was converted to a residential dwelling. Denstone College, a fee-paying private school founded by Nathaniel Woodard was established in 1868 and is situated to the west of the village. It is still a member of the Woodard Schools group.
