Education
As of 2010, Poppleton Ousebank Primary provides primary education for both Poppletons.
For secondary education, the village is in the catchment area of York High School on Cornlands Road in nearby Acomb, but the nearest secondary school is Manor Church of England on Millfield Lane. The school in Millfield Lane is a Church of England School and has its own admissions policy separate from the local city council's policy. It was originally built in 1813 at Kings Manor and has moved several times before being sited in Millfield Lane.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“Whether in the field of health, education or welfare, I have put my emphasis on preventive rather than curative programs and tried to influence our elaborate, costly and ill- co-ordinated welfare organizations in that direction. Unfortunately the momentum of social work is still directed toward compensating the victims of our society for its injustices rather than eliminating those injustices.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
““We’ll encounter opposition, won’t we, if we give women the same education that we give to men,” Socrates says to Galucon. “For then we’d have to let women ... exercise in the company of men. And we know how ridiculous that would seem.” ... Convention and habit are women’s enemies here, and reason their ally.”
—Martha Nussbaum (b. 1947)
“Those things for which the most money is demanded are never the things which the student most wants. Tuition, for instance, is an important item in the term bill, while for the far more valuable education which he gets by associating with the most cultivated of his contemporaries no charge is made.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
