Education
There has never been any educational establishment in the village so most primary school students attend Wood End Primary School and high school students attend school in Atherstone.
NB ... there used to be Baxterley & Hurley Sunday School by the Church which opened in 1839 and also Bentley School which opened in 1846 - Bentley School is still standing though not used for education ( Chris Brett, Baxterley Parish Council 10 / 01 / 12 )

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“The principle goal of education in the schools should be creating men and women who are capable of doing new things, not simply repeating what other generations have done; men and women who are creative, inventive and discoverers, who can be critical and verify, and not accept, everything they are offered.”
—Jean Piaget (1896–1980)
“The Supreme Court would have pleased me more if they had concerned themselves about enforcing the compulsory education provisions for Negroes in the South as is done for white children. The next ten years would be better spent in appointing truant officers and looking after conditions in the homes from which the children come. Use to the limit what we already have.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
“Every day care center, whether it knows it or not, is a school. The choice is never between custodial care and education. The choice is between unplanned and planned education, between conscious and unconscious education, between bad education and good education.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
