Built as a local authority secondary school in 1910-14. It was designed by George Widdows, County Architect who developed a progressive philosophy in the design of schools, ensuring plenty of light and cross-ventilation. Although now over 100 years old, it is clearly still 'fit-for-purpose'. This building is Listed Grade II* and a full description is available here https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1329206 . This side of the building includes the main entrance.
