Education
There is a large Primary School in Peasedown St John, built in 1913 and extended significantly in recent years. In a 2007 inspection report it was described as "A good school with many outstanding features". This judgement was reiterated by Ofstead in 2011.
The nearest Secondary School is Writhlington School in Writhlington, Radstock. Several School Coaches run daily between Peasedown St John and Writhlington School. The completion of the new School Campus in 2010 and the School's 2011 Report have increased Writhlington School's local profile. Other local Secondary Schools are also provided in Midsomer Norton and Bath. Further and higher education locally is provided by the University of Bath, Bath Spa University, the City of Bath College, and Norton Radstock College. Special needs education is provided by Three Ways School.
