I always thought the "Blue Coat School" was in Harborne near the Green Man Pub.

That is the present site of the school since (I think) 1935.
The two figures of the boy and girl in old fashioned dress was common to many Blue Coat schools as I have seen them in several towns.
You might be interested to know that Christ's Hospital in Horsham, West Sussex also known as the Blue Coat School still wears the traditional uniform "The school is best known for the Tudor uniform: long blue coat, knee-breeches, yellow socks, and bands at the neck. The nickname "Blue-coat School" comes from the blue coats worn by the students"
