Info

Rosa Bassett School was a grammar school for girls in South London. Established in 1906 in Stockwell as the Stockwell County Secondary School, in 1913 the school moved to Welham Road on the boundary between Streatham and Tooting. The school was renamed the County Secondary School, Streatham, and was often referred to as Streatham County Secondary School, or, simply, as Streatham Secondary School. It was again renamed in 1951 in memory of the first headmistress, Rosa Bassett.
The school closed when in 1977 it was amalgamated with Battersea Grammar School, a school for boys, creating the new Furzedown Secondary School, a mixed comprehensive school, incorporating the Rosa Bassett buildings into a larger site.
