St Peter's CE Primary School is the village's only school, with around 120 pupils. The school hosts several village events throughout the year, including the 'School Gala' (or Summer Fair) held late in June.

St Peter's CE Church is the local Church of England building in the Village. The church building is modern inside and doubles up as the school hall and gym during the week. Parts of the church are not accessible to the school.

The Higher Trapp Hotel recently became part of the 'Best Western' chain of hotels.
