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.

Here, at The Minster Nursery and Infant School, we never forget that your child is a unique and sentient human being with the unknown potential to achieve amazing things. We are passionate and determined to do all we can to work with you to ensure the brightest future for your child not just for the time that your child is with us, but to help him/her on his/her way to having the best choices at 16, 18 and beyond. We place a high value on relationships to honor one another as though we, each of us, our sons and daughters of the King of kings. We ensure that everyone is valued and celebrated regardless of race, gender, age, disability, religion, or socio-economic background. Underpinning our ethos are four main principles: empathy, unconditional positive regard, honesty, and a non-judgemental approach. The mix of these ingredients means that our children have hope and can believe that bright futures are theirs to claim. These are the perfect conditions for optimum growth and progress. Although we are a big school, we have a ‘small school’ feel. We know that your child is not a stand-alone unit or a walking pack of ‘results data’. Your child belongs to a family unit that is often complex. This is why we have a Family Liaison Officer who is available to work with you through life’s ups and downs to help you provide the best childhood for your child. We have an exciting program of refurbishment in the school so that your child can learn, grow and develop in beautiful and comfortable surroundings. At The Minster Nursery & Infant School we aim to develop every child, intellectually, creatively, physically, emotionally, socially, morally, and spiritually, through the values of the Christian faith: By providing a happy, healthy, safe, and stimulating environment in which learning takes place.

As a school, we feel our Christian ethos complements the government’s requirement of ensuring that key British Values are taught. In reflecting the Christian ethos of our school, we create a caring and secure atmosphere, encouraging our children to be unique, creative, independent individuals, open-minded, and respectful of themselves and others in our school. Through initiatives such as Many Cultures One Family, we encourage cohesion by celebrating the children’s different cultural heritages and promoting peace and harmony as we work alongside each other in school and the wider community.
