What is recorded here
Detached eight-bay single-storey former school, dated 1931, having flat roofed extension to rear (east) elevation and adjoining block to south elevation. Now in use as a hall. Hipped slate roof with cast-iron vents and cast-iron rainwater goods. Rendered walls with cut limestone name and date plaque. Square-headed window openings having six-over-nine pane timber sliding sash windows with render sills. Square-headed door openings with timber battened doors having fixed six-pane overlight.
This school is typical of the form and size of contemporary national schools. The simple and regular form is accentuated by the tall window openings, which were designed to maximise natural light in the classrooms. The timber sliding sash windows, inscribed limestone plaque, slate roof, and cast-iron roof vents add to its traditional character.
