Carbury School (former) is an attractive, small-scale range that appears to retain its original form and character. The school is of considerable social and historic interest for its original intended use as one of the earliest surviving educational facilities in the locality. The school retains many important early or original salient features, including the distinguishing bipartite sash windows, timber fittings to the door opening, and a slate roof. The school is attractively located on a slightly elevated site at the far north end of the village of Carbury, and forms an attractive, if subtle, landmark in the locality.
