Upper Wortley Primary School

Upper Wortley Primary School, formerly known as Upper Wortley Board School, is a board school built in 1876 by architect Richard L Adams. The building features red brick with stone details and a slate roof, designed in an H-plan layout with a central hall and five bays. The end bays project as gabled wings, with 'Boys' and 'Girls' entrances set back on the left and right, while the central gabled hall bay projects slightly. The school is in the Gothic Revival style and consists of single and two-storey sections. Notable architectural features include cusped lights in the mullioned windows, quatrefoil lights above, buttresses, coped gables, and large moulded ridge stacks. The entrances are marked by pilastered jambs and deep carved stone lintels with trefoil recesses and flower motifs.

Inside, the central five-bay hall has a fireplace at the center of each side, with panelled doors leading from the hall—two to the left and one to the right. The corridors are partitioned from the classrooms by glazed wooden screens, and there is a straight flight of stairs opposite the girls' entrance on the right. Richard Adams served as the School Board architect from 1873 to 1886 and designed a total of 35 schools.
