Originally one central porch, though when converted to semi-detached houses this was demolished and replaced by a pair of gabled porches. Two gabled dormers. Each cross-gable has a bay window. {1}{2} The school was threatened with closure in 1958 after the headmistress retired, but a development plan was put in place to instead close Moorby school, with the pupils transferred to Mareham-le-Fen school. The school was closed in the late 20th century. {3}
