Description

Sherston Church of England School is a National School built in 1845 and extended in 1895. It features coursed limestone with freestone dressings and a stone tile roof with gabled ends. The building has gable-end, axial, and lateral stone stacks with diagonally-set shafts.

The layout includes schoolrooms on the left, with separate entrance porches for boys and girls at the front, a classroom wing at the rear, and an integral master's house on the right. The master's house has a 1895 extension in the form of a cross-wing. The design is in the Tudor Gothic style.

The exterior consists of a single-storey school and a one-storey plus attic master's house. The school has a central three-light stone mullion window and large gabled porches on either side with chamfered four-centred arch doorways, moulded stone coping, kneelers, obelisk finials, and inscriptions stating "National School, Established 1845." There is a stone bellcote over the left gable end with an arched opening and finial, above a pair of large two-light mullion-transom windows in the north gable end. The master's house projects on the right and features a gable on the left and a gabled dormer on the right, with a two-window range of two-light stone mullion windows with hoodmoulds. The 1895 extension has a gable-end to the front with a large stone mullion-transom window with side-lights, and an oculus in the gable above.

At the rear, the 1845 school has a gable with a large three-light stone mullion-transom window and a gabled wing on the right. The 1895 extension on the left includes a large stone mullion-transom window with side-lights, an oculus in the gable, and a lateral stack at the side with weathered set-offs. There are also late 20th-century single-storey extensions with flat roofs in the angles of the rear wings.

Inside, the classrooms, which were formerly open to the roofs, now have inserted suspended ceilings. This building is a largely intact village National School with a later Victorian extension, contributing significantly to the townscape value in the village center.
