Board school, now community centre. 1877. By Richard Adams.
Coursed rock-faced gritstone, slate roof. Single storey 3-bay
central hall range with gabled cross wings. Gothic Revival

far right, and to right of centre in main range; all have
board door, 2 glazed panels in traceried overlights, circular
panel above to left and right. Central gabled bay with
transomed window of 3 cusped lights, flanking single lights,
in chamfered arched recesses; carved band above with raised
lettering: 'LEEDS/ BOARD SCHOOLS', trefoil panel above; gable
copings, bud finial; at the junction with the main ridge a
tall square-section bellcote or ventilator flue with carved
openwork sides, lead-covered octagonal spire with finial

transoms, to right 2 three-light windows, external stack with
carved ashlar trefoil-arched niche between. 3 ridge stacks,

INTERIOR: not inspected.
The original arrangement was a central infants' entrance and
the boys' and girls' entrances as far apart as possible.
Richard Adams was architect of Leeds Board Schools 1873-1886
at a period when there was pressure on the Board to build
schools quickly for the rapidly increasing population. He was
responsible for 35 schools, of which about 16 remain; this is
a fine example of his Gothic design for larger single-storey
schools.
