Nottingham High School

Nottingham High School is a private fee-charging day school for boys and girls in Nottingham, England, with an infant and junior School (ages 4–11) and senior school (ages 11–18). There were 1177 students enrolled as at January 2022, of whom 262 were in the sixth form, studying for advanced certificate examinations. History Foundation In 1513, the "Free School" was founded by Dame Agnes Mellers, after the death of her husband Richard, partly in his memory, but also as atonement for wrongdoings against the people of Nottingham. To do so she enlisted help from Sir Thomas Lovell as governor of Nottingham Castle and Secretary to the Treasury. Through their combined efforts, king Henry VIII sealed the school's foundation deed on the 22 November that year. It is unclear whether this was a new institution or an endowment of an existing school, of which records exist back to 1289. Almost 20,000 boys are estimated to have attended between 1513 and 2013.
