Rushcliffe School (formerly Rushcliffe Comprehensive School) is a secondary school with academy status in the Rushcliffe district of Nottinghamshire and is situated on Boundary Road in West Bridgford, one of the wealthiest areas in the county. It is ranked regularly in the top 100 comprehensive schools in the UK for GCSE results and is in the top 2% of UK comprehensives for A Level results. The School's recognised as Outstanding by Ofsted in all categories.

It opened in September 1969. The local education area was re-organised and the Rushcliffe Boys' Technical Grammar School and Rushcliffe Girls' Technical Grammar School, both on Boundary Road since 1961, merged.
In April 2011, Rushcliffe School adopted Foundation Status. The school became an academy in August 2012.
In March 2014, Rushcliffe School was graded outstanding in all categories in an Ofsted report.
It is part of the "Trent Academies group" alongside Arnold Hill Academy and The Farnborough Academy
The Colours are Red, Black, and Silver are found not only on the uniform but around the building itself.
The School's motto is "Constantia et labore" meaning consistency and effort. This is reflected in the concept of "The Rushcliffe Way" which states the values the school holds, all students are expected to know it. The schools ethos is that "everyone at Rushcliffe school will be given the chance to shine brightly"
The school song was written to reflect the schools vision and ethos and is sung on special occasions such as sports days:
"Let the fire and our passion burn bright,
we have a vision that we feel is right,
we must be sure that we know, that wherever we go,
we let the fire and our passion burn bright"
The school has a specialism in science and is a training school. It admits pupils from eleven to eighteen, but due to its popularity, places are oversubscribed. Pupils from primary schools in Ruddington, West Bridgford, Gamston and Edwalton usually go to the school.
