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:
“Times go by turns, and chances change by course,
From foul to fair, from better hap to worse.
The sea of Fortune doth not ever flow,
She draws her favours to the lowest ebb;
Her tides have equal times to come and go,
Her loom doth weave the fine and Coarsest web;”
—Robert Southwell (1561?–1595)
“I never went near the Wellesley College chapel in my four years there, but I am still amazed at the amount of Christian charity that school stuck us all with, a kind of glazed politeness in the face of boredom and stupidity. Tolerance, in the worst sense of the word.... How marvelous it would have been to go to a women’s college that encouraged impoliteness, that rewarded aggression, that encouraged argument.”
—Nora Ephron (b. 1941)
