A number of people question the area residents annually to inquire the use of the 'Castle on the Hill'. Some believe it to be a Convent, and some have no idea what to think of our beautiful building. We thought it might be interesting, now that you know the building's function, to take a quick look inside….


While a number of classrooms have forgone the individual wooden desks for more modern metal desks with arborite tops, the classrooms generally look the same as pictured here. The birch wainscotting adorns all classrooms, and in most you can find the Coronation picture of Queen Elizabeth!

While boys and girls now share cloakrooms, each class does have two each. One is used for coats, while the other is used for teacher's storeage.

The stairways come complete with this decorative finials at each landing. They are well polished with the oils of children's hands over the century!

All doors are still furnished with similarly decorative handles and base plates. The hinges on the doors are equally as splendid.

While the stair cases are kept shining and clean, you cannot help but be nostalgic while walking the treads worn by a century of children climbing them year after year.
