Lincoln Minster School

About the School

We are an independent co-educational HMC school for pupils aged 4 – 18 years based in the heart of Lincolnshire, UK.

The Lincoln Minster School experience provides an enriched education that consistently creates high achievers with purpose, ambition and character. Our small class sizes allow us to give each student the attention and individualised nurturing needed to support their development as they reach their full potential.

The Lincoln Minster School experience

Our pupils and parents have the opportunity to help curate their learning experience, with the option to take advantage of our 50+ co-curricular clubs, our excellent sports and music facilities, our peripatetic music specialists or through life-changing, character-forming overseas travel opportunities. When our pupils and parents join us, they join the rich Lincoln Minster School family, a close-knit community that stays connected beyond graduation.

The majority of our pupils go onto higher education, which includes selective universities here in the UK such as Oxbridge, Russell Group institutions and conservatoires.	UK Top 40 Preparatory School – Sunday Times Parent Power Guide 2022 and 2023
