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.
The work of our school has been recognised in a number of ways. We were accreditted as a World Class School in 2015 and re-accredited again in 2018 and 2021. We hold the International Schools Award, CareerMark Gold and The Ecoschools Green Flag Award. 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 Dr Garratt and Dr Riegler from @AstonUniversity who did a fab talk for some of our Y10 and Y12 students yesterday as part of #Economicsweek. They spoke about the cost of living crisis, careers in business and much more. Thank you! @AstonBusiness pic.twitter.com/98EtTI71Z9
