At Lincoln Minster School we are very proud of our consistently high results at both GCSE and A
Level. At A Level we have had a 100% pass rate for 11 years, with all 4 of our A Level candidates in
2009 gaining A grades and 6/9 gaining A grades in 2011, including 2 at A*. The results at GCSE
have also been extremely high for a long time, with a 100% A/A* rate in 2009 and a complete list of
A/A* grades for our Year 9 express for the last 7 years!
Many of our students have gone on to study Music at higher education, including former Lincoln
pupils at Cambridge, the Royal College of Music, the Royal Academy of Music, the Royal
Conservatoire of Scotland, Southampton, RNCM in Manchester, RWCMD in Cardiff, Cardiff
University, Royal Holloway and many more. In an ever more competitive market, universities and
employers are looking both for impressive grades and subjects which demonstrate a student‟s
versatility. Music is a varied discipline which is recognised by all universities as a rigorous academic
subject and as excellent preparation for higher education and beyond.
