Kennington Boys' School

Kennington Boys' School is a Grade II listed building constructed in 1912 by T J Bailey. It is a board school of the London County Council, similar in style to the Vauxhall Manor School Annexe located on Kennington Road. The school features a large, symmetrical design with seven sections. The main central block consists of three tall storeys with five windows, topped by a high-pitched, hipped tiled roof that includes three small dormers with swept roofs resembling spirelets.

Flanking the central block are two six-storey square towers, each with corbelled octagonal angle turrets and tall swept slated roofs that rise to a bell stage, complete with a spirelet and vane above. The building also includes five-storey, four-bay intermediate sections with parapet fronts, while the outer bays rise to three tall storeys and an attic beneath shaped gables with scrolled kneelers.

The structure is primarily made of stock brick, with red brick and stone dressings, the latter mainly used for the gable and parapet copings. Terra-cotta is used for the corbel tables at the tower eaves, the larger turret corbels, and for the rusticating of the wall arcading in the central section. The varied window shapes and extensive wall enrichment contribute to the building's romantic and fantastical appearance.
