A photograph of the entrance to Tame Bank, a stone-fronted school with tall, decorative windows and a blue door on the right-hand side. A long white sign across the top reads “First Steps Together - Skills for Life” with colourful figures as a logo. Three ground-floor windows display the “First Steps Together Tame Bank” logo in white on grey backgrounds. The building appears to be on a quiet street with a paved walkway in front and bright sunlight casting shadows.
