Description
North Primary School was built around 1900 by the architects Goodey and Cressall. The building is constructed of red brick and features a tiled roof. It is a single-storey structure with a front that includes three triangular gables and three-light windows that have round-arched centers. The façade also showcases panels of patterned brickwork. To the north, there is a small octagonal tower topped with a steep concave roof and a lantern. The rear of the building is relatively plain, and there is an addition to the south.
