| AdminHistory | Brixton Hill High School was opened on 22 Feb 1887 at 260 Brixton Hill, headed by Miss Alice Tovey who was in charge of 7 pupils. The school later temporarily moved to Palace Road before moving into a new building on Wavertree Road in 1895. After the move the school was renamed Streatham Hill High School, though it was also called 'Streatham Hill and Brixton' in some publicity material. Clapham High School merged with the school in 1938 and was it was renamed Streatham Hill and Clapham High School. Teacher training facilities were transferred with Clapham's to 28 Palace Road, which later was called Courtlands. On the outbreak of World War Two the school was evacuated to Brighton and Hove High School. In 1940 the school was transferred again to Guilford and some girls returned to Streatham. In 1944 the school suffered war damage and could no longer teach girls at the school, and two new buildings were found, Winchester House and Studio House in Upper Tulse Hill. The rebuilt school was opened on 22 October 1952. The new building became inadequate and in the 1990s a new site was acquired in Abbotswood Road, which became the home of the senior school in 1994. The junior and nursery schools remain on Wavertree Road. By 2007 the school had been renamed Streatham and Clapham High School. |
