Meet the Head

Head's Welcome from Mr Jon Tyler

"I am delighted to be the Head of Lincoln Minster School. We are fortunate to be able to offer small class sizes, modern facilities in a historic setting, and a dynamic education from Reception through to Year 13 that brings out the very best of pupils both inside and outside of the classroom. 

Our priorities are simple: we want our pupils to be happy and to achieve – and in that order. It is important that they enjoy their time with us and develop an appetite for learning that stays with them for life. They are also more likely to achieve if they are happy, so this will always be at the heart of all that we do. 

We therefore focus on inspiring pupils academically, with a broad curriculum taught by well-qualified subject experts, as well as offering a rich programme of co-curricular activities. Through these areas, pupils develop key personal characteristics, attitudes and behaviours that we hope will equip them to be happy and successful throughout their lives. 

Please do come and visit us to see our terrific pupils in action. I feel privileged to be part of this wonderful community and would be glad to welcome you for a visit."

Mr Jon Tyler, Head

We want our pupils to be happy and to achieve.

We aim to provide an environment that sets high expectations, facilitating stretch and challenge, where each pupil is stimulated to fulfil their potential in preparation for the next stage of their education and future employment.

Through encouraging active involvement in a wide variety of inclusive co-curricular opportunities pupils are engaged in school life, engendering a spirit of community and cooperation. By working alongside pupils with different languages, perspectives, cultures and ways of working and learning, an understanding of a globalised future is developed, broadening understanding and preparing pupils for life in global markets.

Lincoln Minster School seeks ways to develop pupils and staff with the willingness and skills to work effectively together in all we do, fostering long-lasting connections with local schools, the wider Lincoln community and United Learning schools to share facilities and to promote good practice. Alongside collaboration, we support individualised 1:1 learning. We engage with our alumni and Friends of LMS to build a vibrant society supporting each other and the school.

The LMS Difference

The highest standards of personal conduct are expected and, by matching what we say with what we do, we engender a spirit of mutual trust and cooperation. Robust systems of communication through the whole community enable us to listen and be responsive to the views of others, developing a sense of openness, honesty and integrity.

Our inspiring staff seek new and different ways to engage with the challenge of educating pupils for the twenty-first century by meeting the needs of the curriculum in all its forms and extending beyond its constraints. Diversity is valued and pupils are encouraged to be curious and independent-minded to give them the skills to move on from school with confidence in their abilities.

We value everyone equally, building self-esteem and self-respect by demonstrating respect and care for people, ideas and our environment. We recognise the importance of things that enrich life beyond material possessions, which contributes to a sense of wellbeing, fulfilment and wonder, developing Lincoln Minster School as a rich and socially diverse community.
