Anyone with DC at the Minster School or St Peters in York?

[Northernmonkeys]

I'd like experiences of these schools please as considering sending DS to one of them.
Thank you

I know both schools well. What would you like to know specifically? They are very different schools!

Do you have DC there? I would just like opinions on which is the best in terms of environment and teaching methods. I realise they are different and obviously very different In size. We have visited both but are still confused as to which would be best for our DS.
If we went for Peter's we would be starting off at nursery and moving up.

I will PM you!

Hi. Thank you for the helpful information above. Do you also know which local secondary schools the Minster School tends to feed into please?

Mainly St Peters I believe missbenson due to their main point of entry being 13+. A few each year also go to Bootham and The Mount as well as a couple outside of York. I don't think they are school very geared up towards common entrance if you're looking at boarding at 13 though.

Lots do go further afield from the minster. Look at their scholarship record. Music, choral mostly, but academic, art and even some sport.

Sorry I haven't PMed yet. Cannot do it from the phone!

Ah okay, sorry for potentially leading your astray there OP! I only have experience of the York secondaries so my comment was purely based on where friends have sent their DC.

I can't find anything on there website about leavers/scholarships but it would be interesting to know as I am in the process of making a similar decision to the OP.
