Our School

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


A learning experience like no other.

The Lincoln Minster School experience provides an enriched education that consistently creates high achievers with purpose, ambition and character. The 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.
