Rendered walls to central bays, ruled and lined cement rendered walls to terminating bays, with string course running between ground and first floor windows, and name and date plaques.

Appraisal
This well designed purpose-built school makes an interesting addition to the streetscape in Trim. The combination of different types of finishes on the façade of this school enliven its otherwise utilitarian design. This building, along with the convent and chapel to the north, and the parochial house and Roman Catholic church to east, form a group of Catholic institutions in this area of Trim.
