 Brandlesholme County Primary School previously existed until the late 1990s, when it was demolished as a result of demographic change in the area.Brandlesholme is served by Tottington High School, Woodhey High School and Elton High School in terms of secondary education, but many students attend selective church-aided secondary schools, St Gabriel's High School or Bury Church of England High School or the private Bury Grammar School in the town centre.There is a small selection of shops in Brandlesholme Shopping Precinct, known locally as the 'Top Shops'.
