Forecourt walls, gates and railings, Shotton Infants School

The forecourt walls, gates, and railings of Shotton Infants School are constructed from low red brick with sandstone saddleback coping, topped by plain iron railings. The walls are built in sections that step up towards the south and also from east to west. The main posts feature ball finials and are supported by scrolled braces on either side. Behind these, an arched rail is supported by short stub walls that are at right angles to and continuous with the main walls. Each section has a decorative piece in the center, consisting of closely spaced rails with scrolled decoration. The wall curves at the southeast and southwest corners, with tall end piers capped with sandstone at the northeast and northwest.

On the east and west sides, there are single gateways aligned with the girls' and boys' entrances, featuring plain iron gates with decorative elements similar to the railings. Additionally, there are double gates leading into the playground on the east and west sides. These gates have decorative square-section iron piers made of closely spaced rails, topped with iron plates that have pierced fleur-de-lis decoration and moulded iron caps. The gates include dog rails with diagonal braces and central decorative pieces above the mid-rails, while the end posts are adorned with heavily ornamented and scrolled tops. Towards the northeast, there is an inserted gateway of slightly later date, featuring tall brick piers with concrete capstones.
