Stafford State School, State school and historic site in Stafford, Queensland

The three-storey brick building occupies 5.138 hectares at the intersection of Stafford and Webster Roads, featuring formal gardens and playing fields.

The school site, purchased in 1947, replaced the original 1886 timber building on Collier Street that served as both educational facility and teacher residence.

The school buildings reflect post-war architectural design principles with symmetrical U-shaped layout, red ceramic tiles, and Georgian-style elements in the northern facade.

The structure contains 16 classrooms across two floors, equipped with folding partitions, administrative areas, a library, and medical inspection facilities.

The area's transformation from Happy Valley to Stafford in 1886 occurred when officials determined the original name lacked sufficient formality for an educational institution.
