With such a small population, Wheatfield had relatively few children to support a school. In 1784, poor children in Wheatfield were reported to be ""schooled by a weekly donation"". A Sunday school was started in 1790, restarted in 1824 and the last known record of it is from 1878. A dame school was opened in 1824, and by 1833 it had four boys and seven girls as pupils. By 1854 the school had only six pupils and there is no known record of it thereafter.
