Former Grove Park School

The building broadly conforms to a neo-classical tradition but in a 1930s interpretation and has some elements which are reminiscent of art deco. It is constructed of brushed brick with panels of herringbone and geometric arrangements. The main west facing entrance range is a wide 15 bay symmetrical façade with hipped advanced end bays and an advanced central entrance of stone or artificial stone. A dedication stone next to the entrance doors was laid by William Jones JP, Chairman of the Governors June 1938. Three wings project backwards, a central hall wing and on the outside two mirrored classroom wings. Quadrangles and cloistered walkways fill the spaces between the wings.

The main feature of interest is the double sweep stair in the main entrance hall with terrazzo treads and cast iron balustrading. Similar, but smaller stairs are located at the rear of each side wing. The layout of the classrooms survives largely intact, together with some original detail such as dado panelling, doors, and parquet flooring.
