In the Parish of Stainton there are 255 members who are 16 and over.
As the Graph shows 219 of these have qualifications between level one and the highest level of qualification including apprenticeships.
As the graph shows, 105 people who live in the village have gained a level four qualification which is the greatest percentage at 41.2% of the total number.
This shows that some members of the village whether they are retired or not may have or had reasonable occupations due to their level of education.
This can be backed up by looking at the occupation statistics in 2011 as 51.8% of the parish were managers/directors or in the professional sector.

Out of 255 people, 36 in the parish have no qualifications which could suggest that they didn't attend school or they didn't complete it.
However it could also suggest that they may have lived their whole lives on a family run farm and taken over from previous generations.

School
There is a school at Crosscrake situated approximately one kilometre from Stainton which could be occupied by some of the parishes younger residents.
58 members of Stainton are under the age of 16 meaning that they may be in primary education as they are too young to be classed as economically active.
In the book written by Peter Wood he states that some of the children who go to Crosscrake are from neighbouring parishes possibly implying Stainton as one of these.
If the younger population of Stainton attend this school to gain an education it may increase their chances of a better occupation in the future.
