Founded in 1845 and possibly remodelled and enlarged by Sir Aston Webb at the beginning of the C20. A single-storey school building of red and brown sandstone rubble stone, coursed to front end and mostly snecked to rear, with slate roofs and red brick chimney stacks. The gable end facing the road has distinctive, squared, bay window with deep coved cornice and dressed stone voussoirs over small-pane, 3-light, window; slit ventilator above and broken gable finial. Set back slightly on the S side wall is gabled porch with simply moulded bargeboards, pendant and finial, 4-centred arch entrance and blind 'slit' windows to sides; plaque within, referring to the founding of a school here in 1845 and a square-headed inner doorway with boarded door. This porch is balanced on the north side by a gabled projection with similar detail but 6-pane window in place of the doorway. Further to the rear in each side is a tall gabled window with a 4-pane sash and 2-pane overlight, and overlapping that on the S side is a short, lower, crosswing which has a boarded door in the re-entrant angle and a 4-pane sash in the S gable. Both these gables have barge boarding like the porch. Immediately R of the porch is a broad brick side-wall chimney stack with offsets. There is a similar chimney stack further to the rear on the other side, and between this and the gabled window is a square-headed doorway which was probably functionally related to a lean-to privy-house to the rear of the stack.
