Hipped slate roof with cast-iron vents and cast-iron rainwater goods. Rendered walls with cut limestone name and date plaque.

Appraisal
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.
