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.
