Porny School

Porny School is a school and former master's house built between 1863 and 1873, designed by G.E. Street. The building features polychrome red and blue brick with Bath stone dressings, and has banded slate roofs with pierced clay ridge tiles and stone coped gable ends. It is designed in the High Victorian Gothic style.

The layout includes the master's house at the front with an archway at the right end leading to the schoolrooms at the rear. The original schoolroom was extended in 1873 with a large two-storey range.

The exterior showcases a two-storey, five-bay front range made of polychrome red brick with blue brick diaper patterns. It has bands and relieving arches above three-light stone mullion ground floor windows with sashes. To the right, there is a cusped segmental stone arch and a shallow wooden oriel on brackets over a two-light wooden window with glazing bars. The building features a weathered brick plinth and a string course at the first floor window cill level, with three-light casements on the first floor. The string course continues around the left gable end, where it is raised at the center. At the rear, there is a short wing with twin half-hipped roofs, and red brick schoolrooms with slate gable-ended roofs; one is single-storey, while the other is a tall two-storey range with lancets and rose windows in the gable ends, along with another single-storey range at right angles to the east.

Inside, the schoolrooms are ceiled.

This school replaced the original Porny School founded in 1813 by a Frenchman named Porny.
