Primary School, School Wynd, East Wemyss

This is a primary school built between 1906 and 1908, designed by G C Campbell and situated on a sloping site in East Wemyss. The building is rectangular in plan, standing two storeys high with a part raised basement. It is largely harled, with contrasting sandstone margins, and features segmental-headed window openings, incorporating stone transoms and mullions.

The northwest elevation, the principal facade, is symmetrical. A slightly projecting gabled central bay is distinguished by a broad, piended porch supported by four cast-iron columns with decorative spandrels. The porch has a segmental-headed doorway with a two-leaf, part-glazed timber door and a multi-pane fanlight, flanked by bipartite windows. Above, a tall, four-light transomed window is centred at the first floor, with smaller bipartite windows on either side and a glazed oculus in the finialled gablehead. Flanking bays have piend roofs; the right bay has a small, three-light, segmentally-headed window near the ground, a central window, and a small window above the door (originally a window). The bay to the left of the centre mirrors this, but retains a window on the outer left at ground level.

The southwest elevation is largely symmetrical with projecting, piend-roofed outer bays. The left bay has a widely spaced tripartite window at ground level, and a raised centre tripartite window breaking the eaves into a dormer gablet with an arrowslit at the first floor. The right bay has two basement windows and windows at the first and second floors. A slightly recessed centre bay contains a tripartite window at ground level, flanked by a door to the left and a window to the right. At the first floor, a similar raised centre tripartite window is flanked by further windows.

The southeast elevation is a four-bay composition with large tripartite windows in each bay at each level, including the basement.

The windows are timber sash and case, with small-pane glazing patterns. The roof is covered in grey slates. Ashlar-coped skews have flat skewputts.

The interior features a galleried, top-lit centre hall with an open Queenpost-trussed roof, with classrooms leading off. A dog-leg staircase has a tiled dado and cast-iron balusters with timber handrails.

Boundary walls are saddleback-coped and harled, with inset railings and coped rubble. Square-section, coped and harled gatepiers mark the boundaries.
