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:
“grant me grace, O god, that I
My life may mend, sith I must die.”
—Robert Southwell (1561?–1595)
“The first rule of education for me was discipline. Discipline is the keynote to learning. Discipline has been the great factor in my life. I discipline myself to do everything—getting up in the morning, walking, dancing, exercise. If you won’t have discipline, you won’t have a nation. We can’t have permissiveness. When someone comes in and says, “Oh, your room is so quiet,” I know I’ve been successful.”
—Rose Hoffman, U.S. public school third-grade teacher. As quoted in Working, book 8, by Studs Terkel (1973)
