Description
Airmyn First School is a building originally constructed as a Sunday school in 1834 for George Percy, Earl of Beverley. It has undergone additions and alterations in 1891 and further changes in the 20th century. The structure is made of brick with sandstone ashlar dressings and features a Welsh slate roof. It is L-shaped in plan, consisting of an original schoolroom with a 19th-century entrance and a wing to the right, along with a schoolroom extension at the rear.
The building is single-storey and divided into three sections. The schoolroom, which faces the street with its gable end, has triple pointed windows with ashlar heads and sills, featuring wooden Y-tracery. Above the windows is an ashlar tablet inscribed with "SUNDAY SCHOOL Erected By the Right Honourable the EARL OF BEVERLEY 1834" and topped with a coped gable that has shaped kneelers.
To the right, there is a low single-storey projecting wing that includes a pointed window with an ashlar head, sill, and wooden Y-tracery, along with a small chamfered rectangular window above it. This wing also has a coped gable with shaped kneelers, a similar pointed window on the left return, a circular window with glazing bars on the right return, and a bell turret at the rear, which features ashlar offsets, a string course, and a pointed chamfered opening beneath a coped gable.
The entrance section adjacent to the schoolroom has a central pointed doorway with two-fold board doors adorned with ornate wrought ironwork, beneath a coped ashlar gable that contains a semicircular recessed panel inscribed "1891". This section is flanked by small projecting wings with single pointed Y-traceried windows, one of which has had its lower mullion removed, and both wings have coped parapets.
On the left return of the schoolroom, there are three 16-pane flush sash windows in the original section and one 6-pane casement window in the extension, all beneath segmental arches. The building features a dentilled brick eaves cornice. Originally built to accommodate 120 pupils as a Sunday school, it transitioned to a day school by 1840.
