Description
High Cross School is a Gothic building dating from 1848, designed in a shallow U-shape. It has two storeys and a basement, featuring seven windows in the main range and one in each of the projecting gabled wings. The building is constructed of yellow brick with stone dressings, including a band at the first floor, plinth coping, gable copings, and decorative surrounds and tracery for the doors and windows. The roof is slated and displays diamond patterns. Small gables are present over the three-light first floor windows, which have cusped heads and roundels above them. The ground floor windows are mullioned and transomed. In the wings, there are two pairs of lancet windows with small roundels beneath high arches, along with a large round window. The central doorway is set under a pointed arch supported by low columns, and there is a carved achievement of arms on the stone gable above. Beneath all the windows, there are sunk panels with trefoil openings.
