In terms of amenities, Schijf does well for a village of this size. There is a primary school in the village itself, and for secondary education, children rely on nearby centres such as Sint Willebrord or Roosendaal. Daily shopping can be done locally, although the supermarket offering is limited. For a larger selection, you can quickly drive to Roosendaal, about ten kilometres away. There is plenty to do sport-wise: Schijf has its own football club and the surroundings are excellent for walking and cycling through the surrounding agricultural landscape. The Verspreide huizen Schijf on the edges of the village give a good impression of how rural it really is here.
Accessibility by car is fine. Via the N640 you quickly reach the A58 towards Roosendaal or Bergen op Zoom. Roosendaal has an intercity station with connections to Breda, Antwerp and Vlissingen. At weekends, however, the public transport connection from Schijf itself is virtually non-existent, as Ian also mentions in his review. During the week, bus lines run to Roosendaal and Sint Willebrord. Those who depend on public transport must take this into account. Similar villages in the municipality, such as Sprundel and Zegge, face similar accessibility issues. More about the municipality can be found on the website of the municipality of Rucphen.
