The Church School, built in 1849 by E B Lamb, is a single-storey building located on the west side of Wycombe Road in Prestwood. It features a modern tile roof with a louvre and weathervane on the porch at the south side. The east gable has a bell hood and a three-light cusped window. There are two-light windows on the south wall and in the porch, along with a three-light window on the west wall. The north wall is supported by buttresses. The design of the school is similar to that of the nearby Vicarage.
