Education
There are numerous primary schools and nurseries in the town for 5-11 year olds.
There are secondary schools but no dedicated facility in Dukinfield for further education, the nearest establishment being Tameside College in Ashton-under-Lyne or Hyde. All Saints Catholic College on Birch Lane / Kenyon Avenue provides education for 16-18 year olds. Since 1998, the sixth form facility has been provided for in a purpose-built extension to the main school.
