A two-tier education system, with primary (4-11 years) and secondary (11-18 years) schools, operates in Cheslyn Hay, Great Wyrley, Kinver and Wombourne
In Codsall, Perton and Penkridge, a three-tier system with first (4-9 years), middle (9-13 years) and high (13-18 years) schools, operates.

For the purpose of school place planning the district is broken down into smaller planning areas which are used to plan the number of school places required. These have been grouped based on the geographical location of schools, and by assessing pupil movement between schools and catchment areas.

As at September 2020, Cheslyn Hay and Great Wyrley has 8 primary schools & 2 secondary schools.
