Our History

Origins of the School

The roots of Lincoln Minster School and its predecessors reach as far back as the 12th Century. The School was born of an amalgamation of long-established and highly esteemed educational institutions (including the Lincoln Cathedral School), with many of the original historic listed buildings still in use by the school today.

Decades of Tradition

Our heritage also brings us centuries of best practice, knowledge and wisdom to build upon. Many traditions practised in our heritage are still in motion today, including our end of term Cathedral Service.

The school also has a long history of educating the Cathedral Choristers and our talented students are still frequently selected to sing with the world-famous choir to this day.
