Rosa Bassett School was a grammar school for girls in South London. It was established in Stockwell in 1906 as the Stockwell County Secondary School and in 1913 moved to Welham Road on the boundary between Streatham and Tooting, becoming the County Secondary School, Streatham, often referred to as Streatham County Secondary School or simply Streatham Secondary School. It was renamed Rosa Bassett in 1951 in memory of the first headmistress.

The school closed when it was amalgamated with Battersea Grammar School, a school for boys, in 1977 to create the new Furzedown Secondary School, a mixed comprehensive school, which incorporated the Rosa Bassett buildings into a larger site.
