Description

St Anne's Junior and Infant School, built around 1905 for the Bristol School Board, is a board school that may have been designed by Latrobe and Weston. It features rustic red sandstone rubble with limestone dressings and clay plain tile roofs, which have stone-coped gable ends and ventilators on the ridges topped with cupolas.

The school consists of two separate blocks: the former boys' school to the northwest and the former girls' school to the southeast. Each block has a central hall flanked by three attached classrooms on either side. There is also a detached cookery classroom to the south and a school house to the northeast, with the playground enclosed by railings.

The exterior of the two main blocks includes a large central hall topped with a cupola and gable ends featuring large round arch windows with keyblocks. The walls have rusticated quoins and a frieze inscribed with "Bristol School Board," adorned with volutes at either end and a shaft rising to a cornice finial at the apex. Each block has three lower single-storey classrooms with gables that have large four-light windows, rusticated quoins, and pedimental features over the raised center lights, also topped with a shaft and cornice finial. The classrooms have ridge ventilators with cupolas, and there is a similar cupola over the porch at the end of the hall. The doorways to the hall feature segmental overlights with floating pediments above.

The detached cookery classroom has a steeply pitched hipped roof and a front range with a projecting bay at the end, which is decorated with broaches and an inscription above. The tall three-bay school house on the northeast side has projecting gabled bays on the left and right, with two-light windows and a central entrance. The playgrounds are surrounded by railings on a low plinth, with piers at intervals and gateways, including two pedestrian gateways with segmental arches adorned with volutes and scrolls above. The interior has not been inspected.
