Earl Mortimer College is a coeducational secondary school in Leominster, Herefordshire, England.[2] It is a community school administered by Herefordshire Council. It replaced the former Minster College[3] and opened in September 2010.

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]
