Education
Dinas Powys technically has no secondary school of its own but currently remains home to one half of Penarth’s St Cyres Comprehensive School. The "Dinas Site" is the smaller of the two existing facilities and contains the locally living lower school students from year seven to year nine, representing ages 11 to 14, while upper school for the older children is located on Redlands Heights in Penarth. However, the St Cyres lower school in the village is currently scheduled for closure in June 2012, to be replaced by a larger single site located in Penarth.
The village also has three other schools - Dinas Powys Infant school, Murch Junior School and St Andrews Major Church in Wales Primary school.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe.”
—H.G. (Herbert George)
“... the physical and domestic education of daughters should occupy the principal attention of mothers, in childhood: and the stimulation of the intellect should be very much reduced.”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
“Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and Determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan “Press On”, has solved and will always solve the problems of the human race.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
