Nottingham High School is an independent day school (HMC) comprising of an Infant and Junior School (for ages 4 – 11), Senior School (for ages 11 – 16) and Sixth Form (for ages 16 – 18).

The school was founded in 1513 by Dame Agnes Mellers with King Henry VIII sealing the school's foundation deed in that same year. After more than 500 years of teaching boys, we welcomed girls into our school, becoming a co-educational institution in 2015.

The School has an extensive pupil catchment and is the first choice for much of Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire and Leicestershire. Our students come from a wide range of backgrounds and we are committed to maintaining a representative entry, supporting this with a generous bursary and scholarship funds for Year 7. Together, these mean that about a tenth of Senior School pupils receive some form of financial assistance.

Teachers at the High School are able to stretch the more able students whilst enabling all to achieve the highest possible value-added results. There is a strong programme of departmental and School societies and clubs for students of all ages to enrich the curriculum.

The School has its own swimming pool on site, sports ground at Valley Road, ten minutes drive away and our own hockey pitches at Beeston Hockey Centre. There are facilities and coaching available in many other sports and tours are a feature of the major sports.
