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

“I have been a boarder and Chorister at Lincoln MinsterSchool for four years. Every day I wake up and am so amazed that I am here doing what I love. You would think that it is hard juggling school, choir, boarding and home but I love the variety. You get such a lot of support and everyone makes it fun. My life is not boring, that is for sure. Every morning I get up at 7am, have my breakfast and go to choir practice before school starts. On Monday and Thursday the girls sing for Evensong in the Cathedral. We sing one Evensong each weekend, and alternate Sunday morning Eucharist. This is my last year in the Choir and I don't want toleave. When you study music here you meet a lot of lovely people who love music as much as you do. Mr Prentice and Mr Harrison are inspiring people and have taught me so much.” Year 12 Boarder
