Either side shallow stone panels and above a very large staircase window with glazing bars in plain ashlar surround, this rises through the cornice in the form of a segmental ashlar pediment with a central circular window with carved surround. Either side single narrow windows in ashlar moulded surrounds to the left divided into various and matching blocked window to the right and very tall window above.
Set back to either side two large windows with glazing bars in ashlar surrounds above each window has ashlar panel linking it to smaller glazing bar window above. The whole topped with a deep brick parapet.
Left return has four windows to each floor all in simple ashlar surrounds with ashlar panels below.

A building of both architectural and historical interest, the latter for its attempt to bring education to the boys involved in the fishing industry. On the flat roof behind the high parapet the pupils practiced signalling.
