Description
This is a late 19th-century board school and adjoining infants' school, dating to 1886 and designed by W Botterill. The buildings are constructed of brick with ashlar dressings, featuring gabled and hipped plain tile roofs. The main school building has an elaborate octagonal wooden bell turret topped with a lantern, a leaded ogee dome, and a weather vane. The architecture is in a Queen Anne style.
The main block is two storeys plus attics, with a twelve-window front. Segment-headed sash windows with glazing bars are a key feature. A recessed central section is flanked by gabled buttresses to the ground floor and pilasters above. A large, double through-eaves dormer sits above the recessed section, topped with shaped gables, pediments, and two 28-pane sashes with keystones. The first floor has two 20-pane sashes with keystones, and the ground floor has six 24-pane sashes with scrolled keystones and segmental hoodmoulds. Projecting wings on either side feature shouldered and stepped coped gables, pilasters, and pediments, with square relief panels in the peaks. The rear wing is two storeys high, while a projecting gable to the right is three storeys and two windows wide. A lower, single-story block links to the Infants’ School.
The infants' school is single-storey and also includes an octagonal bell turret with a leaded ogee dome and finial. The front gable has three 28-pane sashes, one partly reglazed. A double-gabled wing and a larger wing with a buttress and two 20-pane sashes flank a doorway. A brick boundary wall runs along the right return, featuring gabled blue brick coping and two pairs of square gatepiers. The wall is approximately 100 meters long.
