Eastling School in Kettle Hill Road provides primary school education for 5 to ll year old children, under Kent County Council auspices. There are about 100 children on the roll, only 37% of which live in the village. The School, which originally opened in 1881, has been extended several times. At present (Spring 2004) a school hall is under construction. The school's catchment area extends as far as Faversham. Most Eastling children of primary school age attend Eastling School, but other local primary schools available to them are at Sheldwich, Ospringe (Church of England), and Painter's Forstal (Lorenden, a private sector school).

Secondary education available to Eastling's 11-18 years age range include The Abbey School (Faversham) and Swadelands (Lenham), both secondary modern schools: also the grammar schools: Queen Elizabeth's (Faversham), Borden (Sittingbourne), Simon Langton (Canterbury)
