Sir Walter St John's School was founded in 1700 and existed in Battersea until its closure in 1986. The school was founded by Sir Walter St John, 3rd Baronet, of Battersea and Lydiard Tregoze, in order to educate 20 young boys of the parish. As Battersea grew, the school expanded and in 1859 the school moved into a new building on Battersea High Street where it remained until its closure.
