Kirkmichael Primary School sits on the south side of the bridge. It was built in 1850 but enlarged in 1877 by James C. Walker and again by Blairgowrie architect Lake Falconer in 1912. The school's catchment area currently incorporates Strathardle, Kirkmichael, Glenshee, Blacklunans, Bridge of Cally and Enochdhu. Until the latter part of the 20th century the catchment area also had schools at Straloch, Ballintuim, Strone of Cally, Blackwater and Glenshee but these are all closed with pupils bussed to Kirkmichael. Pupils continue their secondary school education at Blairgowrie High School. Over its lifetime, the school has been extended from a single-storey to a two-storey building, and in 2007 the new nursery and the primary 1-3 building were added. The grounds contain an all-weather sports court, which is available for public use outwith school hours. The kirks and Session House The Church of Scotland parish kirk dates back to the 1791 and is built on a site used for worship for over one thousand years. It is surrounded by the original graveyard which contains graves dating back many centuries. The east end of the graveyard, which does not have headstones or individual graves, is the site of a mass burial plot for the victims of the Black Death plague of 1348 and has never been reopened. Sillerburn Cemetery, on Balnald Road, was opened in the 1950s and, as of 2022, contains around fifty graves. Kirkmichael parish was first linked with Straloch, then with Glenshee/Bridge of Cally and finally with Rattray, with the minister now using Rattray manse. The original manse, opposite the church, was sold in the 1970s and was replaced first by a bungalow in Glenshee then in the 1980s by another bungalow on the Balnald road. The disused Free Kirk, known as the Duff Memorial Church, was built in 1890 by the breakaway Free Church of Scotland to replace their original church built on the same site in 1856. No one now knows why a replacement was built so soon. In 1928 the Free Kirk amalgamated back into the Church of Scotland, with the two churches being used on alternate Sundays until the Duff Memorial finally closed in the 1950s. It was then used as an agricultural building and in the late 1990s the Village Hall committee had an agreement to acquire the building, restore it to its former glory and provide the village with a 21st-century Community
