St Patricks School - Physical Description 1
DESCRIPTION
The front of the school faces the playing fields rather than the road and is composed symmetrically with an axial plan. The central bay window has an incised cement render symbolic cross. The hipped roof is surmounted by rows of conical capped ventilators and simple brick chimneys. Dormer windows project from the ends of the hipped roofs and are three sided. The red brick structure has a minimum of decoration apart from some cream brick arches over window openings. It is a restrained and austere building compared with the decorative domestic buildings of the same period, and is given interest by the intersection of its many hipped roofs.
