The rooms were all painted different bright vivid colours, with different decorations and colourful motifs.
Particularly eye-catching was the rainbow, arcing over the entire width of the room. The cheerful orange

The original 1930s classrooms on the east-west spur of the building were in good condition. However, those on the north-south
spur were in dreadful condition. Many of the slates on the roof had either slipped, or been stolen, leaving
these rooms open to elements. Insulation, straw and plastering lay strewn around the rotten, wet floorboards.
