There is evidence of education in Ashton Keynes as early as 1818, when there were six dame schools teaching 87 children. In 1831 there was a school and schoolhouse at 14 Fore Street, owned by Mr Bowley, which was probably the Church School. In 1846 there was a Sunday and Day School attended by 101 children of whom 35 attended only on a Sunday.
