Cowick Street First School was formerly St Thomas National Schools & the existing buildings were designed by A Weslake & built in 1862 of red brick with Bath stone dressings. The steep slate roof has a bellcote on the northern gable. The school became St Thomas Boys School in 1871 & extended to the west in 1881. The school closed in 1900 until 1911 when they were reopened as a girls & infants school. The buildings remained in use in 2004 as an infants school with the potential to be united with John Stocker School to form Bowhill Combined School. Other details: Figs 11-12.
