1898, to the design of Leonard Stokes. Split-level building of one storey and
basement on sloping ground. Yellow brick walls with red brick lacing courses and
dressings; plain tile roofs. Windows with small panes, the large windows with transomes
and mullions.

NE or front elevation with central flat-roofed entrance wing with front parapet wall
ramped up over two moulded centre doorways with dripstones, the right hand doorway
since converted to a window; three small segmentally headed two-light windows to each
side. To rear of the entrance wing, a pitched roofed wing with three gabled dormers
and, to each side of entrance wing, a pitched roofed cross-wing with one gabled dormer,
the front gable of each cross-wing with tall three-light segmentally headed window with
shorter flanking side-lights. At each end of the front elevation, a flat-roofed bowed
brick projection.

To each side of the central doorways, a path bounded by NE retaining wall with good
contemporary iron railings winds down steeply to the basement court beneath the SW range
of the building, via an arch at the base of each gabled cross-wing in the front
elevation. The basement court has a series of central brick piers each flanked by
segmental brick arches, and a ten bay open arcade on SW. The arcade arches are set
behind a terrace with a flight of steps leading down to the school play ground. The
arcade comprises the basement storey of the SW or rear elevation of the school and has
a wide projecting boarded canopy above it. Upper storey of SW elevation with five
gables, each with segmentally headed window; the wider end gables each have a three-
light centre window with shorter flanking single side lights; centre gable with four-
light window and intermediate gable each with taller three-light window. Brick
chimney breast and stack attached to SE gable.
