St Georges Primary School And Boundary Wall

This is a former board school, now a primary school, dating to approximately 1875. It was designed by William Freeman of Hull for the Newington School Board. The building is constructed of brick with ashlar dressings and has hipped slate roofs with small gabled ventilators. It is designed in the Gothic Revival style.

The main building is single storey plus a central tower. The 15-window range features a plinth and coped gables with kneelers. The central, two-stage tower has clasping buttresses, a string course, a corbel table, and a pyramidal roof with four louvred dormers, topped with a weather vane. A pointed arched entrance is flanked by half-glazed doors and a traceried overlight with a hoodmould. Above the entrance are two single lancet windows with an inscribed blind arcaded band below. The return sides have similar truncated single windows, each with hoodmoulds and an ornamented impost band. The flanking wings contain classrooms and have a slightly projecting central block with a central gable featuring two traceried double lancets and a foiled round window above, all with hoodmoulds. Other windows include single stone mullioned cross casements. The interior sides feature lower linking ranges with stone mullioned cross casements; the right range has a large raking dormer with a three-light glazing bar casement, and the left a gabled through-eaves dormer with a traceried double lancet with a hoodmould. The right return, to Arthur Street, incorporates a central square projection with a pyramidal roof and a gable through-eaves dormer with a traceried double lancet. To the left of the projection is a stone mullioned cross casement, and to the right is a projecting gable with a hipped wooden bell turret on brackets, below which is a shallow gabled porch with a pair of doors under a plate-traceried overlight. Flanking the porch are single, flat-headed windows. The right return to the boundary wall includes a coped wall with a pair of plain capped gatepiers.

An adjoining brick boundary wall has chamfered ashlar coping and intermediate piers with chamfered caps. A pair of gatepiers at the main entrance have similar caps. A plain coped wall with a pair of gatepiers runs along the right return.
