St Mary's has excellent schools on its doorstep. Clitheroe Royal Grammar School is just over half a kilometre away and rated Outstanding by Ofsted — 96% of pupils achieved strong passes in English and maths in 2024-25.
You'll find around 10 schools nearby, from nursery right through to sixth form. Most are state-funded, including community schools and Church of England and Roman Catholic primaries. Moorland School, an independent all-through school, is practically on your doorstep within the neighbourhood.
Among the primaries, Edisford and Clitheroe Pendle both hold Good ratings, with Edisford posting particularly strong KS2 results. Ribblesdale High School had an Ofsted inspection in July 2025, so its rating should be published soon.
