[2] In July 2021, Rushcliffe Spencer Academy was reaccredited with the World Class School Quality Mark.

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, were merged.

In March 2014, Rushcliffe School was graded outstanding in all categories in an Ofsted report.

In May 2018, Phil Crompton retired as Executive Head Teacher and Steve Lewis replaced him overseeing Rushcliffe School and Farnborough Academy, while Damian Painton became Head of School at Rushcliffe.

This is reflected in the concept of "The Rushcliffe Way" which states the values the school holds, all students are expected to know it.

It was opened by Nottingham Forest player Guy Moussi and the mayor of Rushcliffe.
