[1] Neither school's site was sufficient to house the combined school, however Furzedown took over many of the buildings of the Furzedown Training College (a teacher training college) which were located opposite the Rosa Bassett buildings on Welham Road.

The combined former Rosa Bassett and Furzedown College buildings offered sufficient accommodation for the whole school, and the former Battersea Grammar site at Abbotswood Road, Streatham, was soon closed following the amalgamation.

Despite protests by parents and staff the first part of this plan went ahead in 1986, and the new Graveney School was created.

[3] Graveney initially operated at both the former Furzedown and Ensham school sites, but eventually consolidated on the Welham Road buildings.
