The Minster School is a Church of England Voluntary Aided Comprehensive School with its roots in the 10th century. It has 400 pupils in the Sixth Form. The Junior Department was established over fifty years ago to provide free education for the choristers of Southwell Minster and has special facilities for musically gifted pupils. For twenty-five years it has also provided a Junior School curriculum for other pupils who wish to develop their abilities in a musically stimulating environment. Unusually for a secondary school, it takes pupils from the age of seven.
Canon PJ Blinston is the executive headteacher of the Minster School, and Mrs B White is the main head teacher. Canon PJ Blinston also serves as the Head of Magnus School in Newark, the school which The Minster School has joined with. It is on Nottingham Road next to Southwell Leisure Centre.
