Shotton Infants School was designed by Flintshire County Architect Samuel Evans and is dated 1909 on the rainwater goods. It is a symmetrical single-storey school with bold classical detail, constructed of red brick with brick and sandstone dressings, under slate roofs with tall brick stacks. There are several component parts: a U-shaped range to the front consisting of a central assembly hall flanked by advanced gabled bays containing classrooms; a long range to the rear containing six classrooms; and against the ends of the front range, lower wings with entrances and cloakrooms. It has good detail including wide boarded eaves and plain barge boards; tall windows with original small-pane glazing, mainly fixed lights over horned sashes, with flat arched heads of gauged brickwork and stone sills.

The school is listed for its architectural and social-hisorical interest as an exceptionally well-preserved and strongly designed early twentieth century school, retaining original internal layout and high quality detailing. The building is little-altered except for the addition of two toilet blocks in c.1970 and a small flat-roofed classroom to the SW angle. The school closed in 2014 with pupils transferred to the new Ysgol Ty Ffynnon. Ysgol Gymraeg Croes Atti now occupy the site which has been refurbished under Welsh Government's 21st Century Schools Programme.
