During the Second World War, the school was evacuated to Bridge House, Somerset - where the staff and girls enjoyed the countryside to such an extent that when the Croydon site reopened in 1942 they didn't want to return.

It housed the Headmistress's office, the Small Hall, various form rooms, and two libraries – the Sixth Form Library, and another dedicated to the memory of Elizabeth Wagstaff (who lost her life in the Second World War).

[3] The Small Hall contained memorials of the school's history, including lists of Headmistresses and Head Girls, a plaque commemorating Kathleen Ellis and Theodora Clark, and a stained-glass window of St. Ursula (created by a former pupil and given to the school in 1948).

To the left of the Garden Wing was the room for Religious Studies (also a form room); and next to it a path (the "Covered Way") up the hill to the Main Assembly Hall, and later to the Centenary Centre for Design and Technology (constructed to celebrate the School's centenary).

To the left of this building were the Science Blocks, mainly constructed in 1969; and beyond them the Doreen Seward Centre, including a Music Room and Gymnasium.
