Who We are
Welcome to Lincoln Minster School
We aim to provide an environment that sets high expectations, facilitating stretch and challenge, where each child is stimulated to fulfil their potential in preparation for the next stage of their education and future employment.
Message from Headmaster
At Lincoln Minster School we offer an all-through education, where the nurturing, stimulation and development of our pupils in all areas of school life, overseen by inspiring and caring staff, is at the heart of what we do. Our ‘I AM ME’ principle refers to how we celebrate our pupils as individuals and what they bring to Lincoln Minster School in their own special way. From Pre-Prep to Prep, through to Senior, the levels of participation of our pupils across many areas of school life is a real joy to see. I strongly believe that a very important part of our mission is to inspire pupils to develop interests beyond the classroom and also develop a sense of balance in their lives. A real stand out for me is the sense of togetherness and connectedness that links staff, parents and pupils. Here, there is a real sense of a shared journey and ambition, underpinned by a caring and nurturing environment. The ‘feel’ of a school is not something that can be manufactured. It comes from the shared values and the way pupils, parents and staff support each other. Our intention is to provide an inspiring ‘Education for Life’, from 2 years of age all the way through to our A Level pupils. Individual needs are catered for across all age groups where boys and girls, of differing abilities and interests, excel in our vibrant community and where pupils have the opportunity to develop their leadership, mentoring and communication skills. We have a blend of day pupils and boarders, both from overseas and from the UK. This broad social and cultural mix ensures the school has a truly national and global outlook. We encourage our pupils to stretch and challenge themselves, to test new skills outside their comfort zone, not to worry when they make a mistake, but to learn from it. This way, our boys and girls develop a resilience, grow in self-esteem and become more equipped to face the challenges that lie ahead. Being part of and leading such a strong community is an absolute privilege. I hope our website gives you a feel for what Lincoln Minster School offers, however, nothing beats visiting the school itself and I invite you to visit us so that you can see our pupils in class and so acquire a sense of the way they learn. You will be most welcome. J. M. Wallace MBA BA(Hons) PGCE
The highest standards of personal conduct are expected and, by matching what we say with what we do, we engender a spirit of mutual trust and co-operation. Robust systems of communication through the whole community enables us to listen and be responsive to the views of others, developing a sense of openness, honesty and integrity
Our inspiring staff seek new and different ways to engage with the challenge of educating pupils for the twenty first century by meeting the needs of the curriculum in all its forms and extending beyond its constraints. Diversity is valued and pupils encouraged to be curious and independent minded to give them the skills to move on from school with confidence in their abilities.
At LMS we value everyone equally, building self-esteem and self-respect by demonstrating respect and care for people, ideas and our environment. We recognise the importance of things that enrich life beyond material possessions, which contribute to a sense of wellbeing, fulfilment and wonder, developing LMS as a rich and socially diverse community.
