Yes: rated Regional (record 21521054).
Can you visit Saint Philomena's School?
It can be seen from the street; whether you can go inside depends on its owner.

Its National Inventory record dates it to 1860–1865.
Is Saint Philomena's School protected?
Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
