Opened as the Llanfyllin County Intermediate School in May 1900, and appears on the OS 2nd edition 25" map, MY IX.12, of 1901. The school was established under the provisions of the Welsh Intermediate Education Act of 1889. A tightly symmetrical composition in a simple interpretation of the Queen Anne style which was widely adopted as an appropriate secular style for schools, following its introduction in London Board schools in the 1870s. Brick with moulded plinth and string course, some stone dressings and complex Welsh slate roofs on generous projecting eaves, with red tiled ridges and central cupola. The layout clearly reflects its original use, with separate entrances for boys and girls to either side, and the main hall advanced from a series of class-rooms at the rear, served by a spinal corridor. Main elevation comprises paired gables with hipped-roofed flanking blocks (the hall range), with entrances set back in the longer rear (class-room) range. The site was subsequently used as a Community Centre.
