 St John's Hill, Battersea Rise was the school's third location, although there seems to have been some confusion as to whether the school was in Battersea, Clapham, Wandsworth, or Putney when its address was written down.The girls, however, referred to it as Clapham J.In 1853, when the site was purchased, it was because of its wide open aspect and country air, qualities that would later be lost.
