While a lot of 50`s built houses are pretty damn solid, sometimes the attention to detail and the quality of the construction may be some what lacking. common problems are often such things as the cavity being bridged with mortar / broken brick, ties running downhill towards the internal skin...

I would do as Noseall states but would use a suitable exterior silicone frame sealant and not mortar and heres why: 1) Thresholds of doors tend to get trodden on and so deflect / move which would crack the mortar. 2) You will need a selant joint around all edges of the door, using the same...

Do you get Mould on the wall? Rising damp (i.e Faulty Damp proof course) can sometimes draw with it a lot of salts which inhibit the growth of mould. The fact that you can see a lot of the brinks in this area have spalled shows that during wet weather these brick are not drying and as such...

Another approach to this could be increased ventilation in the area. If you could provide more information about the area, Is it a typically moist area (Kitchen or Bathroom) And do you mean you are having condensation issues in the roof space above the ceiling? as I`m assuming this is why...

if you can mount to the studs they should be fine. just make sure you use some fixings with a fairly beefy thread on them. Plus if its a recently built school wall it will probably have been double boarded with either fire board or duraline board, both of wich can take a fair bit of weight
