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.

Famous quotes containing the words southwell and/or school:
“Not Solomon, for all his wit,
Nor Samson, though he were so strong,
No king nor person ever yet
Could ‘scape, but death laid him along:”
—Robert Southwell (1561?–1595)
“A sure proportion of rogue and dunce finds its way into every school and requires a cruel share of time, and the gentle teacher, who wished to be a Providence to youth, is grown a martinet, sore with suspicions; knows as much vice as the judge of a police court, and his love of learning is lost in the routine of grammars and books of elements.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
