Lincoln Minster School (Known locally as "LMS" or "The Minster") is a

Lincoln

It comprises three schools: the pre-preparatory, preparatory, and senior school. While the school is now open to pupils from the community it continues to educate a small number of the choristers of Lincoln Cathedral, though the formal association with the cathedral was ended by Lincoln Minster School in 2016 and most choristers are now drawn from other local schools. It is a member of the United Church Schools Trust and the Choir Schools' Association.
