In 1859 older children from the hamlet of Clack attended the school at Lyneham, while the younger children were taught by a young woman in a cottage. A few children went to a school at Christian Malford.
Then in 1860 a National School was built in the hamlet and in 1875 some of the income from the Broome charity was allotted to the school. This particular school stood opposite the church of St Mary. However, school charity funds were only applied to Bradenstoke once in 1889. In 1899 it was decided that when the cost of building Lyneham School had been discharged, ¾ of the income of the Broome charity was to apply to Lyneham while the last ¼ was to be known as Broome's Bradenstoke charity.
