Reigate New National Schools, 1854. School buildings which attest '...the charity of the opulent and well-to-do classes of the county of Surrey, and their anxiety to improve the Intellectual condition of their poorer neighbours...Mr. Henry Clutton, architect, of Whitehall-place, furnished the designs; and Mr Carruthers, of Reigate, has executed the building in the most satisfactory manner...The cost is stated as £2750...The buildings consist of two residences for teachers; three school-rooms for boys, girls, and infants - which will accommodate, in all, 446 children; there are also two classrooms, hat and cloak rooms, &c. The school-houses are in the Late English Domestic style; the walls are built of Nutfield stone...The several buildings are covered with ornamental tiles, the tint of which harmonises with that of the stone'.
