Description

Feversham Street First School is a board school built in 1873, commissioned by the Bradford School Board, which was established in 1870. The building features an expensive Gothic Revival style with Early English details. It has a single-storey, long rectangular plan with an asymmetrical front. The structure is made of sandstone "brick" with ashlar dressings.

At the north-east end, there is a cross wing hall. The school rooms have two-light mullioned windows. The front includes an off-centre group of gabled cross halls with paired two-light plate tracery windows. This is flanked by an elaborate small-scale tower porch, which has colonnetted and spired lanterns rising on an octagonal shaft from a broached base. To the left, there is a pinnacled buttress, and to the right, a gabled porch abuts the building. The roofs are steeply pitched and covered with slate, and there are finials at the gable ends.

In 1876, this school became the first mixed Higher Elementary Board School in England.
