There are six classrooms to accommodate 310 pupils. The girls’ and infants’ entrance is at the south end of the building and the boys’ entrance at the north end, both entrances connected by a corridor 15 feet wide and, having a sound-proof floor, can also be used as a marching hall. The corridor runs from one end of the building to the other, connecting the two entrances and has an open timber roof with continuous rooflights. At each end are teachers’ rooms, cloakrooms and lavatories, these being cut off from the corridor by large double swing glass doors. The dado walls of entrances, corridor and cloakrooms are lined with white glazed tiles. Four of the classrooms are so divided with glass sliding partitions that they can be converted into a hall. The total cost is about £3,000. The work has been carried out under the personal supervision of the architect, Mr William Burrell Kirkcaldy. ... list of contractors.
