Description

The design replicates very closely the upper floor of the Junior block. Newbridge sandstone rubble in thin courses, Bath stone dressings, brick chimney stacks and Welsh slate roofs. Single storey block in Elizabethan style with large classroom windows. Balanced elevation to the street, six bays, with the second and fifth bays recessed and the forward bays gabled. Each inner bay has a 4-light window on either ground floor, while bays 1 and 6 have 5-light ones. Some of the windows retain their small panes while others have been replaced with plate glass. The two centre bays have a triple coat-of-arms in the gable. These gables are joined by a plain 4-centred arch. The gables on bays 1 and 6 have panels with four coats-of-arms. All four gables have a stone ventilator in the apex and the centre ones retain their tall finials. Steeply pitched roofs with tall brick stacks with stone bands and weathered tops. The return elevations are blind except for paired 2-light windows with gables to light the central corridor. Rear elevation not seen.

Interior not seen at resurvey.
