Gotham Primary School

Gotham Primary School is a school building constructed in 1879. It is made of red brick with blue brick and ashlar dressings, topped with a plain tile roof. The building features a single red brick stack at the front right and has ashlar coped gables with three remaining ridge finials. A decorative eaves band is interrupted by the gabled bays, and the structure is set on a plinth made of red and blue brick. There is an ashlar sill band that is broken by the doorways, and flush blue brick bands, including a continuous hood mould band.

The school is a single storey and consists of nine bays. The left two bays and the third and fourth bays from the right project and are gabled. The rightmost bay projects further and is also gabled, while the single bay fourth from the left is gabled. From left to right, the windows and doors include a single pointed arched two-light window with arched glazing bar sashes, plate tracery, a hood mould, and decorative label stops; a pointed arched doorway with a plank door and glazing bar overlight, plate tracery, and a hood mould with decorative label stops; a pair of segmental arched casements; a large tripartite cross window with glazing bars below the transom, an ashlar lintel inscribed "1879," and a pointed ashlar arch decorated with brick dogtooth, inscribed "Board Schools," with a central shield set into a panel, hood mould, and label stops above; a pair of similar casements; two pointed arched glazing bar two-light sashes with hood moulds and decorative label stops; another similar pair of casements; and a pointed arched doorway with a plank door, plate tracery, hood mould, and decorative label stops, flanked by single small fixed lights. Above this doorway, in the apex, is a small rectangular opening. Additionally, in the other projecting bays, there are single roundels with plate tracery, and above them, three rectangular openings with single ashlar bands extending underneath.
