Education
Mere Brow Church of England Primary School was founded in 1847 as a National school providing free education. The school and adjoining school house were built on land known as 'The Warth' granted to Reverend Master by George Anthony Legh Keck for the poorer people in Tarleton. The school is associated with Holy Trinity Church in Tarleton and has expanded to meet the increased demands. As of 2010 the school had 52 pupils. Secondary age pupils attend Tarleton High School or Bishop Rawstorne CE Academy.
