Description
St Margaret's Church of England Primary School and the attached schoolhouse were built in 1889. The building is made of red brick with blue brick dressings and features buttresses between the windows. It has a slate roof with a panelled chimney, a crested ridge, coped gable ends, and a white painted flèche at the center. The side bays are advanced, with the northwestern bay, which houses the schoolhouse, being further forward. The structure is two storeys high with two windows and a roundel above in the gable end, while the rest of the building is one storey.
The southeastern advanced section has three windows with a shield in the gable end, and the center section has five windows with a central gable. Most windows have segmental arches, although the southeastern windows feature slightly pointed arches. The school is a prominent landmark on the crest of a hill next to the church in the village center. A newspaper article from the time of the school's opening states that the architect was Nicholas Joyce of Stafford and the contractor was Thomas Orton of Ashby.
