Education
All Cannings had a Sunday school by 1808 and a day-school by 1818. 100 pupils were enrolled in the day-school but attendance was much less as many of the children worked in the fields during the week.
By 1833 the village had two day-schools: the parish school with 105 pupils and a private school with 12 pupils. The Rector, had the parish school built that year on land given by the Lord of the Manor, Alexander Baring. The private school had closed by 1858. The parish school was reorganised in 1961 and moved into a new building in 2000.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“The education of females has been exclusively directed to fit them for displaying to advantage the charms of youth and beauty. ... though well to decorate the blossom, it is far better to prepare for the harvest.”
—Emma Hart Willard (1787–1870)
“If education is always to be conceived along the same antiquated lines of a mere transmission of knowledge, there is little to be hoped from it in the bettering of man’s future. For what is the use of transmitting knowledge if the individual’s total development lags behind?”
—Maria Montessori (1870–1952)
“A good education is another name for happiness.”
—Ann Plato (1820–?)
