 Flamstead has a pre-school and a primary school, though older local children have to travel to secondary schools elsewhere in Hertfordshire.The present school dates from the late 1950s, and the previous school building adjacent to the churchyard is now used by the pre-school and also as the Village Hall.Beechwood Park School, now a preparatory school, was once the site of a Benedictine nunnery and then a Tudor mansion.
