There are several popular primary schools within easy reach and a wide choice of both independent and state secondary schools.
The World Heritage Jurassic Coast is about 15 miles to the South at Lyme Regis and other nearby places of interest include the historic house of Forde Abbey and National Trust lands at Lamberts Castle.
