Cement-rendered walls, asphalt roofs. 7 separate classrooms linked by an arcuate corridor; L-shaped administration and service block to right with taller assembly hall to its left in rear angle with corridor. Single storey apart from 2-storey service wing. In International Modern Movement style. Round-ended wings; iron casements and matching glazed doors; flat roofs with oversailing eaves. Classrooms: rectangular with front corner piers and glazing on 3 sides, continuous canopy and clerestorey lights beneath eaves. Infill between each classroom has 5 small windows and roof at canopy level. Administration wing: set on slope and with classroom in front end of projection; main entrance in right return flanked by round-ended piers to canopy. Purpose- built for delicate children and to accommodate some physically-handicapped and partially-sighted children; now primarily for the handicapped. The setting of the south-facing classrooms allows maximum sunlight, the glazed panels originally all openable for maximum ventilation. The linking corridor to rear was formerly open on the north side but is now glazed. Completed in 1939 the building served wartime purposes before the first children were admitted in 1948. Officially opened 21st October 1949 and named after Sir George Newman, Chief Medical Officer to the Ministry of Health (1919-35) and to the Board of Education (1907-35) and a powerful advocate of open-air schools.
