Nottingham has no state grammar schools, and nor does Nottinghamshire — the city's grammars went comprehensive in the 1970s. So selective entry here means independent schools: Nottingham High School assesses at 11 with computer-based verbal and non-verbal reasoning alongside maths and English papers, with shortlisted candidates interviewed, while Nottingham Girls' High School sets its Year 7 exam in mid-January and says openly that it is looking for potential and understanding rather than specific subject knowledge.

There is a local administrative trap worth knowing about. Nottingham City and Nottinghamshire are separate admissions authorities, so a family with a "Nottingham" postal address in Gedling, Broxtowe or Rushcliffe applies to the county, not the city, and the rules are not identical. The city allows four primary preferences; the county runs its own scheme.

The bigger difference is structural: Nottingham City does not maintain any separate infant and junior schools, so city families face no Year 3 transfer application. Cross the boundary into Nottinghamshire and that separate junior application appears. Alongside all of this the national assessments apply as everywhere in England — the Year 1 phonics screening check, the Year 4 multiplication tables check, and KS2 SATs in the May of Year 6.
