Dated 1875. Single storey gabled school building with integral schoolhouse to R, with Gothic and Baronial details.

W (PRINCIPAL) ELEVATION: recessed entrance range; door to centre R in roll-moulded surround; tripartite window to R, tripartite to L flanked by bipartites. Gabled bay to L with tripartite and blocked oculus
within stopped, pointed arch. Schoolhouse with pentice-roofed canted bay to ground L; bipartite to gabled bay above; pentice-roofed entrance with gargoyle in rentrant angle to R.

Some original timber sash and case plate glass windows; some uPVC glazing. Grey slates; cast-iron rainwater goods with decorative hoppers.
INTERIOR: part seen (2004). Modernised.
Although typically modest for a rural school, this example is well detailed and may be the work of a prominent local architect, such as J & R S Ingram of Kilmarnock. Although some windows have been replaced with uPVC glazing, many original timber sash and case windows survive. The former school is located at the edge of Crookedholm, overlooking the village and surrounded by open fields, contributing significantly to the local scene.
