Home to our Senior boy boarders from Year 10 to 13
Lindum View is located opposite our brand new Music School and Sports Hall; literally a stone's throw away from The Prior building, our Senior School site. We look after boarders from Years 10 to 13 who enjoy our friendly, warm-hearted, easy-going, caring family atmosphere in which there is mutual respect between both the staff and boarders. The boys feel a real sense of belonging to the house and tell us that they find it a special 'home from home'.
Lindum View is blessed with first-class, experienced house staff who place great store in the importance of a sense of humour and a realistic outlook to life, balanced against the academic demands placed upon the pupils in such year groups.

"I have a Master's Degree in Education and hold the Certificate of Professional Practice in Boarding Education from the BSA in conjunction with Roehampton University. I am also a member of the British Computer Society and a Microsoft Certified Professional. I was Chair of Governors at a Primary School in Liverpool.
"I am married and have three grown up children. My wife Sandra assists in the boarding house and has quite a reputation amongst the boarding community for her baking skills! I also have an irrational devotion to Everton Football Club!
"Lincoln Minster School is the third boarding school that I have taught in. I commenced my teaching career at Stonyhurst College, Lancashire, where I taught ICT to A level and was Housemaster of a Year 11 boys' boarding house. I was appointed Head of ICT at Sutton Valence School in Kent, where I was also a boarding house tutor to a Senior Boys Boarding House. As a qualified FA Coach, I was Director of Football at both Stonyhurst and Sutton Valence schools. I joined Lincoln Minster School in September 2008 as Head of Boarding/Housemaster and teacher of ICT. I am passionate about boarding education and look forward to overseeing the exciting expansion and development of boarding at Lincoln Minster School."
