Description
Ockley Church of England First School is a school building dated 1841, established in memory of Jane Scott. It is constructed from galleted sandstone rubble and features tile-hung dormers on the left-hand return front. The building has 20th-century plain-tiled roofs and is designed in a T-plan with a cross wing to the left. It is one storey with attics on the right and left sides, and two storeys in the gable end.
The gables have cusped and scalloped pierced bargeboards, which are more decorative on the porches, featuring spade-shaped ends and double cusping on the left-hand return front. There are stacks at the junction of the ranges to the left and additional stacks at the rear. A gabled dormer is located at the centre right, which has a roundel plaque above a two-light diamond-pane casement window with some old glass and a label hood mould.
On the ground floor, there is a four-light mullioned and transomed window to the right and a three-light window to the left, both under label mouldings. The central gabled porch features a 4-centred arched entrance with a chamfered surround and a ribbed door. The projecting wing to the left has a pendant finial and includes a 'cross' diamond-pane window on the first floor, along with an angle bay oriel window on the ground floor.
To the right, there is a flat-roofed single-storey extension with a diagonally boarded door under a label moulding. The left-hand return front has three gabled, through-eaves dormers, and one three-light and one two-light mullioned and transomed window to the left and right of the gabled porch, along with an angle bay window to the left. This building is an unspoilt example of a village school and serves as an important feature of the village green.
