Main Building of Sunnyhill Junior Mixed and Infants School

The main building of Sunnyhill Junior Mixed and Infants School is a London Board School dating to 1900, designed by a team led by E R Robson. A plaque in the gable confirms the date. It represents a developed design that places particular emphasis on decorative chimneys. The main facade, facing Valley Road, features a two-storey, two-bay central section, each bay two windows wide, beneath a projecting pedimented gable. The design is symmetrical, with one-storey side sections. The building is constructed of stock brick with red brick and stone dressings. It has high-pitched swept tiled roofs. A central chimney sits between the gables. Behind the roofline, tall chimneys are located at either hip, connected by a round-arched bridge. Each side wing is accentuated by a central chimney. A tall, two-window bay, topped with paired gables, breaks the eaves and rises significantly above them; a further gable is present on the right bay. The one-storey return ranges include projecting end wings, one of which is formed by a section of the main front. Two pairs of tall gabled bays break the eaves. Bridged chimneys crown the roof ridge. The asymmetrical west range incorporates a tall, narrow copper fleche, with highly swept eaves at the south end.
