Why this school
Exclusive scholarship scheme with the University of Lincoln for sixth form leavers entering undergraduate study.
Golf Performance Programme delivered with Ping, Lincoln Golf Centre, and the National Golf Centre at Woodhall Spa.
Part of the United Learning group, one of the UK's larger school networks, with HMC membership.
Lincoln Minster School is an independent co-educational school set in Lincoln’s Historic Quarter, directly beside Lincoln Cathedral. It admits pupils from age 4 to 18 and sits within the United Learning group, one of the UK’s larger networks of independent and academy schools. Membership of HMC (the Headmasters’ and Headmistresses’ Conference) places it among the recognised body of independent schools in England. Around 525 pupils are on roll — a size where staff know pupils by name and teaching groups stay manageable. Day fees start from £19,500 (2025/26), making it one of the more accessible private schools in the East Midlands.
The school runs GCSE and A Level programmes across core National Curriculum subjects and a broader option range. At A Level, 35% of grades in 2024 were A* or A, a solid benchmark for a non-selective co-educational school. Lincoln Minster also holds a formal partnership with the University of Lincoln: pupils progressing from the sixth form to undergraduate study there gain access to an exclusive scholarship scheme. For families considering the local higher education pathway, that is a concrete and unusual benefit.
The sixth form draws pupils from the main school and from outside. A Level study is the primary route. The University of Lincoln scholarship arrangement gives sixth formers a defined next step if they choose to remain in the city for university. The school’s location is walkable from Lincoln city centre, which means pupils also have access to the broader cultural and civic life of the city during those years.

Lincoln Minster operates as a day school. The school day is structured to accommodate co-curricular activity both within school hours and after school. Each pupil has a clear pastoral point of contact among staff. Being part of United Learning means the school draws on group-wide resources for staff development and curriculum support, with practical implications for continuity in teaching quality.
The Golf Performance Programme is one of the school’s most distinctive co-curricular offerings, run in collaboration with Ping, Lincoln Golf Centre, and the National Golf Centre at Woodhall Spa. Pupils gain access to dedicated coaching, structured training, and competitive play — an arrangement well beyond a standard school sports club. The school also supports sport, arts, music, and drama across its co-curricular timetable. The setting beside Lincoln Cathedral provides a distinctive backdrop for musical performances and school events throughout the year.
The school occupies a site in Lincoln’s Historic Quarter, with Lincoln Cathedral immediately adjacent. Lincoln is a compact city with a well-preserved medieval core, and the campus sits among listed buildings and open historic spaces. Affiliation with the United Learning group supports ongoing investment in facilities across the school’s estate.
Lincoln is approximately 30 miles from East Midlands Airport, which handles direct routes from several European cities. Newark North Gate station provides fast rail connections to London King’s Cross in under 80 minutes. For families flying into Heathrow or Gatwick, the journey to Lincoln by rail takes roughly two to two-and-a-half hours.
