Former Infants School At Clarence Street School

The former Infants' School at Clarence Street School is an education authority building constructed in 1903. It is now used for council education and community purposes. The school is built of red brick with stone dressings, featuring plain tile roofs that are hipped, half-hipped, and gable-ended. The roofs have coped gables, corbelled brick eaves courses, and small lead-clad ventilators on the ridges, along with brick axial stacks topped with moulded stone caps.

The building has a plan that includes three main classrooms that open to the roofs in three ranges at the front, with additional classrooms located in a range at the rear (east). It is designed in the Dutch Renaissance style and is a single storey high. The west front has a symmetrical layout with 12 bays arranged in a 4:4:4 pattern. The central half-hipped gable features four tall round-headed windows, with the two center windows being taller. The right window has been converted into a doorway, which is adorned with stone hoodmoulds and keyblocks, and has small panes. The gables on the left and right sides are set back, each containing two round-headed windows and flanking segmental-headed windows, all with continuous hoodmoulds. The center two windows have keystones that rise as shafts into the gables, with a stone panel between them and a third stone shaft rising through the gable apex.

On the north and south sides, as well as at the rear (east), there are sash windows with segmental arches. The south side features a brick porch with an elliptical stone arch that includes a keyblock. Although the interior has not been inspected, the building is recognized as a good example of an early 20th-century education authority infants' school.
