There is a mysterious registration in May of 1935 as the group still seems to be running. A continuous flow of leaders does not indicate that the group had ceased to run.

However, in 1938, the 4th Banstead opens and it is also known as Banstead Hall School.

Like many groups, the 1st Banstead was impacted by the 2nd World War and fell into dormancy.
