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 schools all over the world, little boys learn that their country is the greatest in the world, and the highest honor that could befall them would be to defend it heroically someday. The fact that empathy has traditionally been conditioned out of boys facilitates their obedience to leaders who order them to kill strangers.”
—Myriam Miedzian, U.S. author. Boys Will Be Boys, ch. 3 (1991)
