Education
There are three primary schools located in Broughty Ferry. They are: Barnhill Primary School, Forthill Primary School and Eastern Primary School. Pupils living in the Barnhill Area will most likely go to Barnhill Primary School, pupils living in central Broughty Ferry will most likely go to Eastern Primary School and pupils living nearer Dundee will most likely go to Forthill Primary School. All three of these primary schools are feeder schools for Grove Academy.
Grove Academy has been rebuilt and opened in late 2009. There are plans for Eastern Primary School to move into the old Grove building. Pupils who live in the Barnhill area used to get the option to attend the Angus school, Monifieth High School. As of 1 January 2009, the option for people living in the Barnhill area to attend Monifieth High School has been stopped. If any person living in the Barnhill area wishes to go to Monifieth High School, they must apply. Pupils who currently go to Monifieth High School and live in the Barnhill area will not be affected by these changes.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“Very likely education does not make very much difference.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“Our children will not survive our habits of thinking, our failures of the spirit, our wreck of the universe into which we bring new life as blithely as we do. Mostly, our children will resemble our own misery and spite and anger, because we give them no choice about it. In the name of motherhood and fatherhood and education and good manners, we threaten and suffocate and bind and ensnare and bribe and trick children into wholesale emulation of our ways.”
—June Jordan (b. 1939)
