II
Church of England School. 1873-4, to the designs of James Tolley and Robert Dale of 13 Angel Court Throgmorton Street. Red brick in English bond with blue brick and stone dressings. Roofs of slate with decorative ridge tile to centre range and entrance porch/stair to right; the latter topped by a decorative metal finial. One and two storeys. Recessed centre range of two storeys and four window range containing, on the first floor, classrooms and on the ground floor a covered playground that was entered by pointed-segmental arches, now enclosed; first-floor windows finish as gable facing, half dormers. Projecting wings at either end of recessed range: that to the north polygonal in plan, with Tudor-arched entrance leading to stair; that to the south gable facing with hipped dormer to return; the latter served as a schoolmaster's house. Just visible above the ridge of the main roof is the hip of a rear wing which was once crested by a cupola, only the base of which remains. A dummy window on the return of the schoolmaster's house contains a stone plaque, the top part of which bears the image of the earlier school in high relief and the bottom part of which bears the following legend: This house and these schools/ were erected in A. D. 1873/ in lieu of/ the house and parochial schools/ as shewn above./ The Former stood at the northwest angle of/ the Churchyard of the Parish. Christ Church Schools had their origin in the parish's charity schools which were founded in 1708. The school moved into purpose-built premises in 1782 which are pictured on the stone plaque. The Christ Church Schools were united with the local National Schools in 1850.
