St Andrews School (1842 And 1869 Ranges Only)

St Andrew's School, built in 1842 and enlarged in 1869, is a school located on Blackpool Road in Ashton On Ribble. The building is constructed from coursed squared sandstone and features a slate roof. The original structure is rectangular and oriented on a north-south axis, with an addition at right angles across the south end, which includes a later flat-roofed addition in the angle. The design is in the Romanesque style and is single storey.

The east front of the original range has a round-headed doorway at the north end, framed by a pilaster and a clasping corner pilaster. The south end likely had a matching entrance bay, but this is now obscured by the addition. There is a central range of three round-headed windows with linked hoodmoulds. The north gable wall features a central pilaster and corner pilasters, two similar windows with run-out hoodmoulds, and the date "MDCCCILII" in raised Gothic script in the gable above. The rear of the building is rendered.

The gable of the crosswing has large rectangular windows, and the range that continues southward from this has pilasters and four round-headed windows. There are various additions to the west and south that are not of special interest. The school is included for its group value.
