Church of England Primary School including playground area wall immediately to west

The Church of England Primary School, built between 1845 and 1849 by L.N. Cottingham and completed by N.J. Cottingham, is a National School located in Great Chesterford. It may have been extended later in the 19th century. The building features knapped flint with limestone dressings on a gault brick plinth and has a steeply pitched clay tile roof adorned with bands of fishscale tiles. The gable ends are stone-coped, with gableted kneelers and finials, and there are large axial flint stacks with diagonally-set brick shafts.

The school has a cruciform plan, with the master's house in the north range, a hall and school rooms in the cross-wings to the south, and a pair of small lavatory wings at the north end of the master's house. The cross-wing may be a later addition from the 19th century and is designed in a Gothic style.

The exterior consists of one storey and an attic, along with a single-storey cross-wing and south range to the right. The façade features a 3:2:2 window arrangement, with one-, two-, and three-light ogee-headed windows supported by wrought-iron stanchions and bars. To the left, there are three gabled dormers with cusped bargeboards and wrought-iron finials. The gabled cross-wing, positioned to the right of the centre, has an elaborate large buttress between two depressed two-centre arch windows and a cusped ventilator in the gable above. There is a porch in the angle to the left, featuring a depressed two-centre arch doorway with a studded door and wrought-iron hinges. The rear (east) elevation is similar. The south gable end showcases a three-light window with reticulated tracery. At the north end, two small single-storey lavatory wings have monopitch roofs, with four-centre arch doorways and two-light ogee-headed windows.

Inside, the hall boasts an eight-bay roof supported by seven-cant trusses, featuring upper curved V-struts and a blocked shoulder-headed fireplace.

Additionally, there is a playground area wall to the west, constructed of gault brick with panels of flint and saddle-back coping.
