Former Banbury Grammar School pupils are looking for ex-pupils for a special reunion
A former Banbury Grammar School pupil has joined forces with a few ex-pupils to organise a special school reunion later this year.
Peter White worked for the Banbury Guardian from 1965 to ’69 when our offices were in Parsons Street, and prior to that he was a pupil at the Grammar School from 1958 to ’64.

He said: “A few of us have met up several times over the years, but decided it would be great if we could organise a special ‘GCE O Level 60th Anniversary’ bash in April.
"Sadly we know that some of the people we went to school with are no longer with us, while others moved abroad or live out of the Banbury area. However, we are sure there could be at least 20 to 30 ex-pupils still around Banbury, and we would love to see them again.
“The only criteria is that they must have been part of the Banbury Grammar School 1958 intake, which comprised just over 90 pupils, and took GCE O Levels (now known as GCSEs) in 1963.
"We are a bit overloaded with young ladies at present, so would welcome a few more guys. But it is an open invitation, and we look forward to hearing from anyone who fancies turning their clock back 60 years.”
