Our independent curriculum and progressive teaching give us the flexibility to tailor our approach to the needs of each individual child.

Welcome from the Head of the School

Clive Rickart, Principal

"Lincoln Minster School is a family school where individuals come first, where all pupils have a role to play and a priority is placed on achievement. It is the people who make the school. There is no substitute for inspired, quality teaching, motivated pupils, supportive parents and governors - all the people who care. 

"The most important element of this school, 'the heart', is our sense of community which stresses a belonging, an affection and a proud spirit. As a school community we must be demanding, challenging, and clear in the direction of travel, demonstrating a mutual respect, honesty, integrity and spiritual dimension. In all of this we are driven by one thing: a deep love of children.

"This new website should give you lots of information and inspiration. But please do bear in mind that the website will evolve as the year unfolds. We appreciate your feedback so if there is anything you would like to see on these pages, please get in touch."

Clive Rickart, Principal

Testimonials

“When I first came to boarding school I thought it would be strict and full of rules with unfriendly people, but I was wrong. Lincoln Minster boarding has a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere that made me feel comfortable and the other boarders were very friendly to me and I felt like I was one of them already. I liked how the staff respected our privacy and how they allowed us to get on with studying in our own way and time. I liked that we could always be where our friends are and never feel lonely.” Year 12 Boarder

“Since being a boarder I have met teenagers from Korea, Hong Kong, South Africa, Germany and from many different parts of the UK, all of which have had a different way of life to me. These differences make boarding interesting and enjoyable. Some of these friendships are the best part about boarding. At the boarding house there is always someone about to do things with and so you are never lonely. I have really enjoyed the day trips, which the boarding house arranges because I have more fun with a large group of people. The boarding staff are kind, helpful and very fair, some even have a sense of humour and we can have a lot of fun and laughs outside of school.” Year 12 Boarder
