Welcome to Rushcliffe Spencer Academy
Rushcliffe is a successful, vibrant and friendly place for pupils and staff alike. We have a simple core purpose – ‘everyone will be given the chance to shine brightly’ – and this underpins everything we do. We seek out any opportunity to showcase the talents and abilities of our pupils in order that they can be happy, healthy and successful now and in the future.
Rushcliffe has been recognised as outstanding in all areas by Ofsted. The school was accredited as a World Class School in 2015 and re-accredited again in 2018 and 2021. However, we are committed to continual improvement and want to ensure that provision for our current pupils is the best it possibly can be.
We are proud to serve our local community. We are committed to excellence in the education we provide but also in the care and support we give to pupils and their families.

Thank you to Arron & James from @NFFC_Education who spoke to our Year 10's this morning about the fantastic @thinkbiggoals programme that will be back in school next term. They even brought along a very special cup which sparked some excitement! #ThinkBig #ShineBrightly #Careers pic.twitter.com/2BGkinmm8n
