There is a Church of England Primary School in the village, also called St Leonard's. Saint Mary's Roman Catholic church and Saint Mary's Roman Catholic Primary School are located in Langho.{{Cite web|title=Returning pupils to enjoy primary school's £1.7million new-look site|url=https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/18687073.returning-pupils-enjoy-primary-schools-1-7million-new-look-site/|access-date=8 September 2020|website=Lancashire Telegraph|language=en}}
