Two-storey linking block connecting to rear of main school building. Flat roofs with moulded render cornice and parapet, and cast-iron rainwater goods. Smooth rendered walls with render eaves band and with moulded sill course continuing to form cornice of single-storey block. Square-profile rendered piers to single-storey block with capitals and plinth. Square-headed window openings with moulded rendered surrounds and timber sliding sash windows throughout all elevations, nine-over-nine pane to first floor, six-over-six to top floor, and three-over-three to ground floor of north-west end elevation.
