The town has its very own high school, called The Nelson Thomlinson College, which is a well-performing comprehensive with close links to the Innovia factory.

It was in location for two weeks, and also its objective was to decrease the amount of criminal damage in the community centre. It followed nighttime criminal damage campaigns, which included wrecked store fronts, as well as scare tactics of elderly members of the area.
