There has been a school at Coalbournbrook since the early in the 19th century, possibly built with financial support from the Hills of Dennis Hall whose philanthropy extended to building schools and churches across their industrial empires in both South Wales and the Black Country.

A Victorian school building in School Drive was demolished in the mid-20th century to make way for a modern primary school, which is set to continue education in Coalbournbrook into its second centaury. Meanwhile to cater for Amblecote’s expanding population other schools have been built across the area, including Peters Hill Primary on Amblecote Bank one of the largest primary school in the country.
