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:
“To be a Negro is to participate in a culture of poverty and fear that goes far deeper than any law for or against discrimination.... After the racist statutes are all struck down, after legal equality has been achieved in the schools and in the courts, there remains the profound institutionalized and abiding wrong that white America has worked on the Negro for so long.”
—Michael Harrington (1928–1989)
