About Rushcliffe Spencer Academy

Rushcliffe Spencer Academy is a highly successful 11-18 comprehensive school located in West Bridgford, Nottingham. Recognised as ‘outstanding’ since 2014, inspectors concluded that “Students receive an excellent education, both academically and in their personal development, preparing them exceptionally well for the next stage of their education or for employment.”

For a number of years Rushcliffe has been one of the highest achieving schools in the region at GCSE and a high percentage of Rushcliffe Sixth Form students move on to study at the most prestigious universities.

In 2015 Rushcliffe were awarded the World Class Schools Quality Mark. The only school in the East Midlands to be awarded such an honour in recognition of taking the school “beyond outstanding”

Everyone at Rushcliffe will be given the chance to shine brightly.  Every child, no matter what their ability, their background, their aspirations or the barriers that stand in their way, to be successful. 

We have high expectations of everyone in the school community. This leads to an environment where pupils work hard, show respect and courtesy and are expected to try their best in all that they do. We are a happy and harmonious community where children feel safe and talents are nurtured.

We have a committed and talented staff team. They work hard to support, nurture and challenge our pupils. We believe in investing to develop our staff so that they too are the best they can be. We work with other schools, with universities and with a number of other organisations to learn from the latest research and bring the very best practice to Rushcliffe. We are one of eight secondary schools in the Spencer Academies Trust and benefit from the close partnership working that comes from being part of a successful regional trust.

The Spencer Academies Trust aims to be an employer of choice within the East Midlands. We recognise that meeting our recruitment and retention targets depends on creating a leading support offer, which promotes staff wellbeing and allows colleagues to access opportunities including staff discount programmes.

Together, we deliver on the Spencer Academies Trust mission: to provide an outstanding quality of education and improve the life chances of children across the East Midlands.
