When looking at some information on this building I noticed that the local monument register mentioned that the entrances had images depicting boy and girls for their entrances. The register writes the following
NL
"De school was de eerste burgerschool voor de mulo in Scheveningen. Het ontwerp zal van de architect van de dienst Gemeentewerken zijn geweest; gezien het hoge niveau mogelijk van de architect-directeur Berend Reinders. De meisjes en de jongens hadden elk een eigen ingang, die zich duidelijk in de vleugels aftekent door het topgeveltje. Boven de ene ingang staat Gemeenteschool, boven de andere Anno 1877. De voormalige school was van het traditionele gangtype. Vóór de lokalen, dus aan de straatkant, loopt de gang. In een apart volume aan de achterzijde, staat de vroegere gymnastiekzaal. "

"The school was the first civilian school for secondary education in Scheveningen. The design will have been by the architect of the Public Works Department; given the high level possible of the architect-director Berend Reinders. The girls and boys each had their own entrance, which is clearly visible in the wings through the gable end. The Municipal School is located above one entrance and Anno 1877 above the other. The former school was of the traditional corridor type. The corridor runs in front of the classrooms, ie on the street side. The former gymnasium is located in a separate volume at the rear."
