===Secondary===
The nearest secondary school for Southwold children was Reydon High School until it closed in 1990. Thereafter, most pupils were bussed to the [[Sir John Leman High School]] in [[Beccles]] or to [[Bungay High School]]. These schools have been joined by [[SET Beccles School]], opened in 2012 and catering for pupils aged 11–16.

In line with a 2019 decision by [[Suffolk County Council]] on changes to free school transport, the default 11–16 secondary school for Southwold and Reydon students is [[Pakefield High School]] at [[Lowestoft]].

Private education for pupils aged 2–18 is offered at [[Saint Felix School]], a [[Private schools in the United Kingdom|private school]] in nearby Reydon.
