It is a community school administered by Herefordshire Council. It replaced the former Minster College[3] and opened in September 2010. It is smaller than the average secondary school.[4]

Earl Mortimer College offers GCSEs and BTECs as programmes of study for pupils,[5] while students in the sixth form have the option to study from a range of A Levels and further BTECs.[6]

School history

The school was originally established as the Minster School.[7] In 2007 the council made the decision to rebuild the school to include a sixth form, using funding from Building Schools for the Future.[8] It then became the Minster College.[7]

The school owns the art work The Minster Triptych by David Jones and students of the school.[9]
