Description

Built of coursed slate, with terracotta quoins and dressings, slate roof with perforated crest ridge tiles. The building is on a simple T plan, giving a symmetrical front with a central wide gable having two sash windows, the upper sash only divided into 6 panes, set in dressed opening with joggled radial lintel voussoirs and a moulded cornice. Above, a terracotta plaque with a corniced pediment and side scrolls, reading in raised lettering: SCHOOL BOARD / OF / TOWYN & PENNAL, and in the pediment, the date 1902. To either side, lean-to entrance porches with half-glazed doors at the outer ends. The continuous classroom block at the back is of 3 bays, with large round-headed 4-light windows, small-paned above the 2 transoms in the head. The roof extends to the right over a small bellcote on cut brackets. At the centre, a small but finely detailed cupola with square baluster corners carrying a square ogee dome. The base of the cupola is clad with painted lead with diagonal lead rolls. Brass benchmark G2569. The building has been extended at the rear with a kitchen and lean-to WCs.

The interior is ceiled at collar level, leaving exposed trusses at the head of the two glazed cross partitions.
