Description

The Church of England School, built in 1847, is a primary school located in Corsley Village. It features coursed rubble stone construction and a Welsh slate roof with coped verges and staddlestones, along with an ashlar stack on the right. The building has a T-plan layout, with a single-storey school section and a two-storey teacher's house attached to the right.

The entrance is marked by a gabled stone porch that has diagonal buttresses and a planked door with ornamental hinges set in a pointed chamfered doorway. This doorway is adorned with an inscription and foliated terminals on the hoodmould. To the left of the porch, there are two-light hollow-mullioned windows, and the schoolhouse in the cross wing to the right features two-light mullioned casements on both the ground and first floors. The right side of the building has two additional two-light mullioned casements.

At the rear, there is a later 19th-century wing that includes brick bands and three-light mullioned windows, along with a lean-to porch with a planked door to the left. The back of the main range includes 20th-century flat-roofed extensions. Inside, the school retains ribbed or four-panelled doors, although modern ceilings have been inserted in what were once open-roofed schoolrooms, revealing stone mask corbels supporting the roof trusses. The school was established as a gift from the Marquess of Bath.
