St Mary's CE Primary School [1]is an average sized primary school in Banbury, Oxfordshire. It is located close to the town centre and therefore has a smaller than average catchment area, although it has 233 students in the 3 - 11 age range. The main school building is Victorian although much altered by addition of a hall and additional classroms in the early twentieth century. The school had a new building for the key stage 1 children which was open in late 2003 to replace a 50 year old block. It is situated on the Southam Road and is connected with the Maytree nursery. It also has a large field. The school was formerly the Bluecoat school and was founded in 1705 for boys and girls, next to the old jail in the town centre. The original building now houses Buckell and Ballard's Estate Agency. In 1817 the school was incorporated with the newly-established national schools for boys and girls ; but the funds are kept separately, and are partly applied to clothing the children elected by the Blue Coat foundation, namely, sixteen boys and twelve girls. Including these, in 1835, the national school at Banbury educated about 120 boys and 75 girls, besides occasional scholars on Sundays.[1]
The present Headteacher is Mr Stephen Wass, a well known local musician and character. For many years Mr Wass has been "The Fine Lady" in the Banbury Hobby Horse Festival. He is a member of the 'Old Mettle Band"[2] which presents traditional song and dance and is a musician with the Adderbury Morris.
