Education in the Wingham Area

Wingham has been a seat of learning since the founding of the The College of St Mary in 1286. This was set up by and for the church. 
In 1686 Sir James Oxenden founded a school to teach twenty poor children reading and writing. This school survived for over 200 years becoming in the later stages of its life a National School, when an Act of Parliament was passed In 1870 demanding that all children between the ages of 5 and 13 years should attend school. 
The village now boasts a new  Primary School opened by HRH Prince Edward on Friday 25th June 1993. A brief history of the school has been provided by former Head Mr. D. Evans.
Secondary Education is provided by the nearby town of Sandwich and the city of Canterbury while Further and Higher Education is available in Canterbury, Dover, Folkstone and on the Isle of Thanet
