Grade II Listed day school. Designed by architects Bellamy and Hardy the school, at a cost of £3,227, replaced a former Wesleyan Sunday school that opened in Grantham Street about 1840 as a day school. William Huddlestone was the builder and the foundation stone was laid 20 April 1859 by T Farmer of London. It was built on land used as the Saracens Head garden and owned by the Wilkinson Charity School on Bailgate. The school opened on 6th October 1859. Bellamy and Hardy added a two-storey western extension at the south end in 1878. Further extensions and alterations were carried out by architect W Mortimer in 1894 and 1906. It closed in stages between 1927 and 1932. By the 1990s it was disused and the Girls and Infants Schools in the southern part had been demolished along with what appears to have been the head teachers house. The remaining rear buildings were demolished in 2003 with the balance of the building restored in 2004-5 as part of Wesley Court housing scheme.
