Constituent Schools
Banbury School used to be three separate schools. These were:
- Stanbridge Hall (the former grammar school)
- Wykham Hall
- Broughton Hall
Although these are all now part of the same school, the constituent buildings are still referred to by their old names.
Before the school's name was changed to Banbury Grammar School in 1946, it was called Banbury County School and was a mixed school for boys and girls from the ages of 11 to 18/19. It was founded in 1893. Wykham Hall was built in about 1953 and was called Easington Modern Boys' School.
The school became an Academy on 1 August 2012.

Famous quotes containing the word schools:
“In truth, the legitimate contention is, not of one age or school of literary art against another, but of all successive schools alike, against the stupidity which is dead to the substance, and the vulgarity which is dead to form.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
