school

Detached six-bay single-storey national school, built c. 1900, now disused, flanked by flat-roof porches which form part of lower four-bay flat-roof block to rear. Hipped slate roof to main block with brick chimneystack, flat roofed elsewhere. Roughcast rendered walls with brick walls to window sill level, and render plinth course. Blank limestone plaque to front elevation. Square-headed window openings with one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows with render sills. Fixed timber windows to clerestorey level of main block at rear. Square-headed openings to porches having timber battened double-leaf doors. Rendered boundary walls to front of site.

This school is representative of early twentieth-century civil architecture. The building retains its separate entrances for boys and girls and its timber sash windows which enhance the façade. The brick juxtaposed against the rendered walls adds textural and chromatic interest. The close proximity of the school to the local church shows how rural education has traditionally been organized on a parochial basis.
