Description
Roby Mill Church of England Primary School is a school built around 1870, which has been altered and enlarged. It features coursed squared sandstone with red sandstone dressings and a slate roof topped with red cockscomb ridge tiles. The main rectangular section of the building is set back from the road and is oriented at right angles to it. There is a small wing attached to the front left corner and a lean-to porch or narthex that extends across the front from this wing. The building is tall and single-storey, designed in a Gothic style with very steeply pitched roofs.
The porch includes a segmental-pointed doorway on the left and three small segmental-pointed windows. Above the porch, the gabled facade showcases a large window with three stepped lancet lights beneath a two-centred relieving arch. The facade is topped with a coped gable featuring an apex chimney and a small pinnacle at the left corner. The right-hand side wall has four segmental-pointed windows, while the left side has a 20th-century flat-roofed addition. The attached gabled wing, aligned parallel to the main building, matches the overall style and includes a three-light window in its gabled facade.
