The Studio is a school building with attached cloisters to the south and railings to the west, built for King Edward VI Grammar School in 1868-9. It has a broad 'H' plan comprising a central hall with entrance lobby and crosswings housing facilities to the south and classrooms to the north. It is of red brick with stone dressings and slated roofs. The building was designed in a Tudor Gothic style by James Fowler. It rests on a chamfered stone plinth and has stone string courses, gable roofs with cresting and carved stone copings, with three moulded brick stacks. The main entrance into the building lies at its south elevation, and comprises a timber batten door, with original furniture, set within a pointed arch opening. The main hall is a lofty, full-height space with an exposed timber arched-brace roof, with quatrefoil decoration to the spandrels, and the trusses resting on stone corbels with carved shield motifs. A cloister with a pent roof supported on timber posts and brackets is attached to the south end of the building, to the front of the entrance steps, and turns at 90 degrees to meet with the rear elevation of the Bedehouses. The complex is enclosed to the west by a low brick wall capped with stones on which there are iron railings; the double vehicular iron entrance gates are C20 in date.
