All classrooms face south to village green. Lavatories aid washrooms provided within main structure. Single storey with attics, 9 bays with projecting gabled outer bays. Central glazed door beneath radial fanlight flanked by wide, three-quarter length plate glass windows originally intended to fold back. 3-light casements to gable ends. Central bellcote.
