Nottingham High School is an independent fee-paying[2] day school for boys and girls in Nottingham, England, comprising the Infant and Junior School (for ages 4–11) and Senior School (for ages 11–18). Nottingham High School has 987 pupils, including approximately 717 in the Senior School (about 123 in each of years 7–11 and around 51 in each of the two years of the Sixth Form).

Located on Waverley Mount,[3] the school's main building is close to local amenities and public transport. The main building is in the style of Gothic Revival architecture; other buildings include: the Founder Hall building (in which the school's swimming pool and drama studios are situated); the Sir Harry Djanogly Art and Design Technology building; the Lady Carol Djanogly Music School; the Sports Hall; the Simon Djanogly Science building; the Old Gymnasium; and the Player Hall. The Junior School has its own buildings on the same campus.[4] The playing fields are some 3 miles (4.8 km) from the school and are located at Valley Road.

History

The original 1512 charter approving the foundation of a free grammar school in Nottingham

In 1513, the school was founded as the "Free School" by Dame Agnes Mellers,[5][6] after the death of her husband, Richard, partly in his memory, but also as an act of atonement for his several wrongdoings against the people of Nottingham. In order to do this she enlisted the help of Sir Thomas Lovell, who was both the Governor of Nottingham Castle and Secretary to the Treasury. As a result of their combined efforts, King Henry VIII sealed the school’s foundation deed on the 22 November of that year. It is not clear whether this was a new institution or a refoundation or endowment of an existing school, of which records exist as far back as 1289.[5] 19,940 boys are estimated to have attended the school since 1513.[7]

Coat of arms

1949 saw the granting of the school’s coat of arms by the College of Arms,[5] the full blazon being:

Ermine, a lozenge argent charged with three blackbirds rising proper. On a chief gules, an open book also proper, garnished or, between two ducal coronets of the last. And for the crest, on a wreath argent and gules, a squirrel sejant gules holding between the paws a ducal coronet or. Mantling, argent and gules. Motto "Lauda Finem".

The arms incorporate those of the school’s founder: the arms of the Mellers family were three blackbirds (or merles – an example of canting arms) on a white field; Dame Agnes, being a woman, would have displayed these on a lozenge rather than a shield. In 2007 the school introduced a new ‘logo’ for more general use, a modified version of the shield which omits the lozenge and the ermine field. Whilst this breaches laws of English heraldry, action is rarely taken in such matters.

Motto

The Latin inscription on the School Arms is Lauda Finem which translates as “Praise to the end”.[8] More recently, the school has also adopted the informal motto “T.E.A.M.” (“Together Everyone Achieves More”).

Founder's Day

In the Foundation Deed, Mellers provided that a Commemoration Service should be held in St Mary's Church in the Lace Market “on the Feast of The Translation of St Richard of Chichester, namely 16 June” each year,[5] although the service “is now held on the nearest Saturday to that date”.[9] With the exception of the Goose Fair, it is the most ancient ceremonial event still held in the City of Nottingham,[10] and the oldest which is still largely in its original form (the Goose Fair is now a funfair rather than a livestock fair), although there seems to be no record of it being held between the middle of the sixteenth century and its modern revival in 1923.[5] The formal procession is an important part of Founder’s Day and seeks to symbolise the ancient links the School has with the Crown, the City and the Church. The Foundation Deed also provides for the distribution (out of a total sum of 20 shillings) of certain monies to the Lord Mayor of Nottingham, Vicar and others and for the purchase of bread, cheese and ale for consumption by the officials attending the Service. Any balance remaining is required to be given to the poorest scholar but now is given to a representative scholar of the school.

Remembrance Day service

War Memorial Inscription

An annual Remembrance Day service on November 11 is attended by the whole school with the Headmaster, President of the Old Nottinghamians and the School Captain placing wreaths at the war memorial. School members attend a special assembly (in which a minute’s silence is observed) during the morning in the Player Hall. Representatives of the school’s Combined Cadet Force mark their respect with a parade around the main school building.[11]

Premises

Location of the school

Since 1868, the school has been located high on Waverley Mount to the north of the city centre,[12] looking down towards the site of its foundation in St Mary’s Church and its continuance in Stoney Street. There has subsequently been a long programme of building and development, resulting in the modern site.

Main Building
War memorial at the south gates

An example of Gothic Revival architecture, the original school building—which was built between 1866 and 1867—on the current site was designed by Thomas Simpson[13] and consists of the tower and three wings: the West Wing, Middle Corridor and the East Wing. The West Wing houses classrooms for mathematics, English and geography. Housed in the Middle Corridor are: the learning support department; two ICT centres; two language laboratories; religious studies classrooms; two multipurpose lecture theatres; the libraries; and staff offices. The east wing contains: the old gymnasium; the Player assembly hall; and classrooms for modern languages; history; and classics. The front of the School and other features are Grade II listed.

Tower

Overlooking the city centre is the school’s tower, which is used as a staff office. A School Standard and the Union Jack are raised on the tower on special occasions, such as Founder's Day and the Queen’s Official Birthday.

Later additions

To the west, the Founder Hall building was built in 1963 to commemorate the school’s 450th anniversary. This complex includes the school’s swimming pool and the Founder Hall itself. It acts as a performning arts venue and supplements the Player Hall. A drama studio was added in 2013 to commemorate the school’s 500th anniversary.[14]

The Simon Djanogly Science Building dates from 1984. It is situated to the South West with eleven laboratories for all three sciences. A 25-yard CCF shooting range[15] is still present in the basement. The building was officially opened on 2 March 1984 by HRH The Duke of Edinburgh.[6]

In front of the science building is the music school which was completed in 1997. This complex houses the Lady Carol Djanogly Recital Hall, the Jones Trust Music Room, a music technology studio, a resources centre, seven instrumental teaching rooms and a larger brass teaching room, a percussion studio and a classroom for Infant and Junior School pupils.[16]

Lady Carol Djanogly Music School

In 1989 a sports hall was built on land to the northeast of the site that was formerly occupied by fives court and a shooting range.[17] It contains an multipurpose exercise hall, and a fitness room which is available for older pupils.

In the north-west corner is the Sir Harry Djanogly [lower-alpha 1] Art, Design and Technology Centre. The ground floor of this building was built in the mid-1990s and a first floor was added in the 2003/2004 academic year to accommodate modern facilities for the Art Department.

A new dining hall and sixth form centre were constructed in the West Quad in 2009.

Lovell House Building

Waverley House School to the west of the main site was purchased in 2008. The site was refurbished and renamed the Lovell House Infant School. In 2013, this single-sex establishment was combined with the Junior School to form Nottingham High Infant and Junior School.

Playing Field

The school’s games field is not on the main site but instead at Valley Road, approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) to the north. The Valley Road sports field features a number of rugby pitches and posts during winter, which are converted for athletics in the spring, with a running track as well as shot put, javelin, discus, pole vault, hurdles and high jump areas. During the summer the ground is used for cricket, with nets and squares created for the season. Tennis courts and an archery range are also located at the playing field. The pavilion features a number of changing rooms on the ground and first floors, and a refreshment area for staff and guests.[19] Until 1897, pupils took their PE and games lessons at the Forest Recreation Ground.[7]

School organisation

There are four houses each in the Junior and Senior Schools, each named after a person with connections to the school. The house system plays an integral role in the pupils’ school life. House tutors provide pastoral care and support for the pupils.[20]

Junior School Houses

In the Junior School, there are four Houses, all named in memory of former pupils or staff at the school who served with distinction during the First World War and were either killed in action or died of their wounds.[21] Ball’s House is named for Captain Albert Ball VC DSO MC, a renowned fighter pilot in the RFC and pupil at the school between 1907 and 1909; Hardy’s House is named after Rev. Theodore Hardy VC DSO MC, Assistant Master at the school between 1891 and 1907, and a Chaplain in the British Army from 1916 to 1918; Tonkin’s House after Lt F C Tonkin DSO MC, a former pupil who served in the King's Royal Rifle Corps; and Trease’s House after Lt Reginald Trease DSO MC, a pupil at the school between 1898 and 1905. The houses compete annually for the General Efficiency Cup, donated in 1927 by Mr William Crane.[21]

Senior School Houses

There are four houses in the Senior School: Mellers’ was named after the school’s founder; Cooper’s, after Frederick Cooper, an artist who in 1872 donated almost 2 acres (8,100 m2) of land to the school; Maples’, after Samuel Maples, a former pupil who bequeathed £3000 to found scholarships in 1892; and White’s, after Sir Thomas White, who endowed a charity to provide interest-free loans to “young men of good name and thrift” in the Midlands (some money from this fund was lent to the school in slightly questionable circumstances during the middle of the 19th century).[5]

Wheeler Cup

Houses compete for the Wheeler Cup which is awarded on the cumulative performance in competitions throughout the school year. These include athletics; chess; hockey; cross country; rugby; bridge; shooting; swimming; cricket; general knowledge; verse speaking; singing; and individual music.

It is also possible to wear a jumper under the blazer. This is usually grey with white and black around the neck, or if the pupil has represented the school in sport, it may be black and bear the school coat of arms.

In the sixth form students wear a black, grey or navy blue suit with a shirt of any colour except black.[53]

Junior School tie, House tie (Whites), Lovell Order tie

Ties are a major feature of the school uniform[17] and are used to signify awards pupils’ status within the school.

House ties.

Special ties include:

Prefect system

Prefects are the School’s principal representatives of its values. They perform a number of duties which include supervision of the dining Hall, for example, and assist on days of importance to the school, including Founder’s Day, Speech Day, Taster Day and entrance examinations. Since 2014, all pupils of the lower Sixth have been required to perform prefect duties.

Fees

The school charges admission fees. Around 10% of pupils are supported by bursaries or scholarships that enable a reduction of around 10% to 100%.[54]

Media

Parts of a 1990 episode of the television series “Boon”, starring Michael Elphick, were filmed at the school, and featured a number of pupils as extras. The story in question was titled “Bully Boys”, the sixth episode of the fifth series, and was broadcast on 30 October 1990. The main playground, the Bridge Library (now the library reception) and the Valley Road playing fields, in particular, were shown.

The front steps of Nottingham High School were used as a location for the 2002 film “Anita and Me” and are shown for a short time within the film.

The front steps were also used, along with a select number of students from the Junior School, for a short documentary used on BBC One’s “The One Show”.

Kevin Fear (the school’s current headmaster) as well as certain boys, were filmed by ITV for a news story shown as part of the news programme “ITV News Central”.[55] Filming took place at an assortment of locations around the school, including: the headmaster’s office; various classrooms; and the Lower School Library. The news story regarded the fact that the school had announced it would admit girls – for the very first time in its 500-year history – from 2015/2016.[55]
