Nottingham High Senior School educates children from Year 7 to Year 13, and welcome new students in Years 7-10, and into Year 12, subject to availability.

We have an array of opportunities for both parents and children to explore the school, meet teachers and current pupils, and get involved in lots of exciting activities along the way.

The first step in the process is submitting an Online Enquiry. At this point you can also sign up for an event, request a tour or order a prospectus pack. There’s no obligation to continue with an application at this stage, it is just an opportunity to find out more information about the school and request a visit if you so choose. We recommend doing this as soon as possible if you think you may be interested in joining us, as we will then be able to keep you up-to-date with deadlines and upcoming events that may be of interest.

Our annual Open Day will be taking place on 19th September 2026. To register please fill out our enquiry form.

Our Sixth Form Open Evening is taking place in October 2026. Find out more about our successful and inspiring Sixth Form environment, and speak with our teaching specialists in our Subject Marketplace to discuss A Level options. To register please fill out our enquiry form.

Application Form

Please note there is a £60 registration fee.

Entrance to Nottingham High School is by assessment.

Senior School Assessment

Our main entrance assessments take place in January, consisting of a verbal and non-verbal Reasoning test done on a computer, a Mathematics paper and an English paper. Following on from this, a selection of students are invited in for an interview and the final offers are made in the following fortnight.

Sixth Form Assessment

The Sixth Form at Nottingham High School educates students in Year 12 and 13, and welcomes new students into Year 12.

Joining the Sixth Form is by interview and on the basis of academic achievement at GCSE. Applicants are invited to interview following a report from their current school indicating their predicted GCSE grades. The likely offer made, following a successful interview, will be conditional on a minimum of 5 A / 7 grades, with A / 7 grades in the subjects to be taken in the Sixth Form.

If your child shines in the entrance assessment, you’ll soon receive an offer letter delivered straight to your inbox or mailbox!

To secure your child’s place at our School, simply return the acceptance form and pay the £800 deposit. (Bursary students are not required to pay a deposit.)

We can’t wait to welcome your family to our vibrant community.

Once we have received your acceptance form and deposit, you will promptly receive our comprehensive Parents’ Welcome Guide. This guide will help you prepare for a smooth and successful start at our School.
