Ensham School was a girls' comprehensive schoolinTooting, South London. During the 1930s, it was a mixed central school. By the 1950s, it had become a girls' secondary modern school. It was later made a comprehensive school.

The school closed when it was amalgamated in 1986 with Furzedown Secondary School, a mixed comprehensive school, to create the new Graveney School on the former Furzedown Secondary School site.

History[edit]

Ensham School was constructed during the period of expansion of Tooting at turn of the 20th century.

By the 1930s, it was known as Ensham Central (Mixed) School.[1][2] In the late 1950s, the school was called Ensham County Secondary School.[3] It later became Ensham Secondary School.

In the 1930s, the school was a mixed central school, becoming a girls' secondary modern school by the 1950s and a girls' comprehensive school by the early 1960s.

In 1986, Ensham was amalgamated with Furzedown Secondary School, a mixed comprehensive school, to create the new Graveney School.[4] Initially the school operated in both the former Ensham and Furzedown buildings, but eventually the Ensham site was closed.
