Shown on 2nd edition Ordnance Survey map. A photo exists of the school in 1974. A very grand building similar to Westgate Hill Primary School, which is listed. Three storeys, built in brick with ashlar detailing. The main elevation seems to have three projecting gables with tall rectangular windows. The central single-pitch gable has Tudor style timber detail above the third floor windows. It is a pentagonal bay. The gables to either side have decorative stepped gables with finials. There are a series of tall decorative chimneys. Windows in the rest of the building are smaller and square.
