Square-headed window openings with two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows, with smooth rendered reveals and painted sills to end bays and front elevation entrance porch; timber casement windows to clerestory level of main block, with smooth rendered reveals and painted sills. Square-headed door opening to centre of entrance block, with battened timber door and smooth rendered surrounds. Set within small yard, enclosed by rubble stone wall with chamfered stone coping, smooth rendered gate piers with chamfered coping. Located on eastern side of Church Hill Road.
This early twentieth-century school, now a hall, has retained its architectural integrity. Its form and massing are typical of school buildings of its era. It is enhanced by the retention of timber sash windows and a battened door.
