Description

Glebe Junior School is a junior school built in 1911, designed by the architect Percy Bond Houfton. The building features red and blue brick with stone, brick, and tile dressings, topped with steeply pitched plain tile roofs that have large brick ridge ventilators.

The school has an X-plan layout, consisting of four four-bay classroom wings set at 45-degree angles to a central three-bay hall. The exterior is characterized by banded red and blue brick, with gauged brick and stone details. The single-storey structure has a butterfly plan, with classroom ranges branching off from the central hall. A low, projecting flat-roofed porch on the north elevation connects the wings, featuring a central doorcase made of banded stone and red brick, with a segmental arch of radiating voussoirs adorned with ballflowers. Below, there are double-glazed doors, and above, embattled parapets inscribed with 'Infants School'. On either side of the porch, there are three-light windows with chamfered stone sills and dentilled brick hoodmoulds.

The south elevation showcases a three-bay gabled central hall, flanked by two stepped buttresses that rise into the gable, decorated with stone tile motifs. The ground floor includes three segmental-headed double doors and a central segmental-headed four-light window, with flat two-light windows above. A continuous tile hoodmould runs over the upper windows, and a diamond motif is present in the gable. Atop the roof is a central octagonal cupola with a leaded base, arcaded sides, and a domed leaded roof featuring a weathervane. The four-bay angled wings on either side have gables with similar diamond motifs. The inner bays contain three-light timber mullion and transomed windows beneath hipped roof dormers with three-light windows, while the outer bays have three-light mullion and double transomed windows with dentilled brick hoodmoulds. The wings to the north mirror this style. There are 20th-century additions between the wings on the east and west elevations.

Inside, the interior is quite plain, except for the staff room, which features a tiled fireplace.
