The village school was Burnt Yates CE Primary School which Ofsted rated as 'Outstanding' in 2006–07, and 'Good' in 2011.[2] Forty-two children attended at the time.[1] The school was required to become an academy following an 'Inadequate' rating in 2016, and in 2018, it was closed due to dwindling pupil numbers.[3] However, in 2019, the school buildings were reopened as Admiral Long C.E. Primary School, as a local school (Bishop Thornton C of E School) needed to move to larger premises.[4]
