Description
Humphrey Perkins School is a school building constructed in 1901 in the Arts and Crafts style by George Barrowcliffe of Loughborough. The structure features red brick and roughcast with a plain tiled roof. A two-storey house projects to the south, showcasing a brick ground floor and a roughcast upper floor, highlighted by an ornate octagonal stair window in the re-entrant angle, topped with a concave leaded cap. The school range is 1½ storeys high, featuring a central wooden cupola and a coped north gable. A central battered chimney stack is flanked by two brick dormer gables with leaded lights. To the north, there is a projecting single-storey wing with a large leaded light window and a stone date plaque. Between the wings, a single-storey passageway has flat coped parapets and contains two doors in moulded stone surrounds.
