Description

St Phillip's Roman Catholic Primary School is a building from 1898, designed by Leonard Stokes. It is a split-level structure with one storey and a basement, situated on sloping ground. The walls are made of yellow brick, accented with red brick lacing courses and dressings, and it has plain tile roofs. The windows feature small panes, with larger windows that include transoms and mullions.

The northeast or front elevation has a central flat-roofed entrance wing with a front parapet wall that rises over two moulded doorways, which have dripstones; the right-hand doorway has been converted into a window. On either side of the entrance, there are three small segmentally headed two-light windows. Behind the entrance wing, there is a pitched roof wing with three gabled dormers. Each side of the entrance wing features a pitched roof cross-wing with one gabled dormer; the front gable of each cross-wing has a tall three-light segmentally headed window with shorter flanking sidelights. At both ends of the front elevation, there are flat-roofed bowed brick projections.

On either side of the central doorways, paths bordered by a northeast retaining wall with contemporary iron railings lead steeply down to the basement court beneath the southwest range of the building, accessed via an arch at the base of each gabled cross-wing in the front elevation. The basement court includes a series of central brick piers flanked by segmental brick arches, and features a ten-bay open arcade on the southwest side. The arcade arches are set behind a terrace with steps leading down to the school playground. The upper storey of the southwest elevation has five gables, each with segmentally headed windows; the wider end gables have a three-light centre window with shorter flanking sidelights, while the centre gable has a four-light window and the intermediate gable has a taller three-light window. There is a brick chimney breast and stack attached to the southeast gable.
