Description
Clayton Village Primary School is a former National School built in 1859 by Mallinson and Healey, with subsequent additions in 1871 and 1895, and 20th-century alterations. The building is constructed in a Decorated Gothic style, using rockfaced stone with ashlar dressings and slate roofs. The symmetrical front elevation features a central buttress and a blind gable surmounted by a small bellcote. Flanking this are two traceried windows with four-centred arches, and beyond, steeply gabled porches, one of which is now blocked. Smaller windows have stone mullions and pointed arches. Each return has a small two-light window. Projecting gabled wings each have a buttress and a traceried two-light window. The left return includes a basement with shouldered doorways and two-light windows, and above, a through-eaves dormer with a pointed arched window. The right return mirrors this.
Adjoining the right return is a school house with a double gabled front. It has a 20th-century door in a shouldered opening, with a small window above. One wing features a canted stone bay window and a stepped three-light cross-mullioned window above, while the other has a three-light and a two-light cross-mullioned window. A shouldered doorway is present on the right return.
The rear features a single-storey hall range with four pointed arched windows on each side, and a traceried window in the outer gable. An entrance range from 1895, with a hipped roof, includes a projecting gabled porch with a shouldered doorway and overlight, flanked by two-light windows. An earlier shouldered doorway and an additional range with small two-light windows are also present.
The interior of the hall boasts an arch-braced roof on corbels, and classrooms feature similar roofs, fully ceiled in the late 20th century. Original glazed partitions remain, along with some 20th-century classroom partitioning.
The site is enclosed by a rockfaced stone boundary wall with ramped gabled coping. Three single gateways have original gates and chamfered round headed stone gatepiers topped with Celtic crosses.
