School history

The school was originally established as the Minster School.[6] In 2007 the council made the decision to rebuild the school to include a sixth form, using funding from Building Schools for the Future.[7] It then became the Minster College.[6]

The school owns the art work The Minster Triptych by David Jones and students of the school.[8]

There was a sixth form but closure of this was confirmed in 2023.[9]

School performance and inspections

In 2000, inspection by Ofsted judged the school to be improving.[4]

As of 2021, the school's most recent inspection was in 2017, with a judgement of Good.[10]
