Description

All Saints Junior School is a mid-19th century Church of England school and associated staff houses situated on London Road, Maldon. The original buildings are constructed of red Flemish-bond brick with Gault dressings and originally had steep roofs of scalloped plain tiles, later replaced with plain tiles. The composition forms a U-shaped grouping.

A pair of two-storey staff houses (one with a later attic) are located centrally. They are characterised by stone parapets to the end gables, a tall central stack with two diagonal shafts, and steep-gabled first-floor cast-iron lattice casement windows with a two-light design. The ground floor features a door opening and a three-light window, matching the first floor. Flanking the houses are two single-storey classroom blocks, one for boys and one for girls, which possess slightly differing details. Both blocks are defined by steep gables and large square windows, later fitted with glazing. The south-east block is narrower and features a plain sash window and a circular window with a quatrefoil design in the gable. The north-west block has corner buttresses angling to the rear and a similarly large front window. All flank windows are paired plain sashes.

To the rear of the houses are small, enclosed yards with pantile-roofed lean-tos. Each unit includes a flank wall stack, and No. 37 has a low-pitched, gabled dormer with margin-glazed sash windows. The first floors of the houses retain lattice, two-light casements, along with plain sashes (a later window unit is present in the opening of No. 35). The ground floors have rear doors, and No. 37 has a small sash window. Behind the original classrooms are 20th-century red brick classroom blocks with gabled plain tile roofs. A similar classroom block now flanks and projects from the south-east block, all incorporating plain paired sash windows.

The interior of the original classroom blocks formerly included connecting doors to the adjoining houses. Architectural drawings relating to schemes similar to the erected buildings are held at the Essex County Records Office.
