Single storey. Gable to left. 3 2-light windows with trefoil heads to lights, hood moulds and chamfered stops. The school was built as the first Girls School in Heversham at the expense of James J. Gandy of Kendal. Work started to erect it and a school house in the Churchyard without permission. After a number of meetings had been held it was resolved that the school could be built in the Churchyard, provided it was fenced off, and land adjacent to the Churchyard was donated by George Wilson of Dallam Towers on which a School House (q.v) was erected at the expense of the Hon Mrs Howard.
