The Minster School, Southwell

When comparatively small (intake was only about 35 per year during the 1960s), the school was in Minster Chambers, but those premises were vacated in 1964 for a site further down Church Street on the south-eastern side of the [[Minster (church)|Minster]]. Upon amalgamation, this site, some considerable distance from the Nottingham Road site, became difficult to integrate into the life of the much bigger school. With the decision to concentrate redevelopment at Nottingham Road the Church Street site was sold. As the 1964 premises had been built upon the site of a Roman Villa an opportunity has arisen to restore this location.{{cite news |title='Roman villa' site saved from housing |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-34668362 |access-date=15 November 2018 |work=BBC News |date=30 October 2015}} Amalgamation continued the school's traditional strengths and the school obtained [[specialist school|specialist]] status in [[Music College (United Kingdom specialist schools programme)|music]] and [[Humanities College|humanities]].
