School
Buckland Brewer Community Primary School is a mixed gender, non-denominational school for 5-11 year olds. There are currently 46 pupils enrolled.
It is a very small primary school at the centre of the village. The Victorian church school building has been considerably modified and, with a mobile temporary classroom, now provides space for two classes, one for reception and Years 1 and 2, and the other for Years 3 to 6. Most pupils move to Great Torrington School in Year 7, although some have been known to opt for Bideford College or one of the local private schools such as Grenville College or Edgehill College both situated in Bideford some 5 miles north of the village.
A pre-school operates in the village hall, which caters for the under 5's. There is a close relationship between school and pre-school.
