Southwell Minster School is a voluntary aided comprehensive school in Southwell, Nottinghamshire, England for children aged 8 to 18.
In December 2011 the School was graded Outstanding by Ofsted, in 30 out of 31 areas, among only 3% of schools in the country. The school supplies the Minster choir, and until recently there was a boarding section for choirboys in the town.
It is one of the few cathedral schools in the state sector and has thus been mistaken for an independent school.

Of memory, blind school of cuttlefish,
Rise to the air, plunge to the cold streams....”
