Our Pre-Preparatory School consists of a modern building set within a beautiful walled garden overlooked by Lincoln Cathedral. The Preparatory School, a short walk from Lincoln’s Bailgate, has been extensively redeveloped and was opened in September 2014.
Our Senior School site is made up of several buildings, both new and old. The main Prior Building was purpose-built and opened in 2002 by the former Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Carey. The sweeping, curved building overlooks the city and boasts fully equipped science labs, art studios, IT suites, and our dedicated Sixth Form Centre. Our latest addition – the Harper Building – is dedicated to music and performance it includes an impressive Recital Hall, music practice rooms, and a fully-equipped drama studio, as well as a Sports Hall.
The sight of our pupils in their distinctive blazers and staff in their academic gowns processing to the Galilee Porch at Lincoln Cathedral for our End of Term Services and Prizegiving Ceremonies is a special one a reminder of how important a sense of tradition is in a modern world and a modern school.
