Description
Earl Sterndale School is a school building constructed in 1895. It is made of coursed squared limestone with gritstone dressings and features rock-faced quoins. The roof is slate, and the gable end walls and porch are topped with stone copings. The building has rock-faced stone gable end stacks, with the northern stack being external and featuring a wide base that is chamfered to a narrower neck, topped by an overhanging coved cornice. The school is a single-storey structure with three bays.
On the west elevation, there is a central quoined porch with wooden doors on either side. The front features a centrally placed four-centred arched window with a cavetto architrave and a moulded dripmould. Above this window, there is a fixed small pane metal window with Gothic tracery on top. A rectangular plaque above the window is inscribed with the date '1895'. There are similar windows on either side of the porch. The rear elevation has four similar windows and two adjacent doors with shouldered tops. This building is included for its group value only.
