Education
The district gets the best GCSE results within Nottinghamshire, and throughout the East Midlands. This is mainly due to the three schools in West Bridgford. The school in Radcliffe on Trent is the only one under the England average.
Both the Becket School (partly geographically outside the Rushcliffe district) and the West Bridgford School get A level results better than most English grammar schools.
Sutton Bonington is in the south of the district, which has the Sutton Bonington Campus of the University of Nottingham.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“Meantime the education of the general mind never stops. The reveries of the true and simple are prophetic. What the tender poetic youth dreams, and prays, and paints today, but shuns the ridicule of saying aloud, shall presently be the resolutions of public bodies, then shall be carried as grievance and bill of rights through conflict and war, and then shall be triumphant law and establishment for a hundred years, until it gives place, in turn, to new prayers and pictures.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Statecraft is soulcraft. Just as all education is moral education because learning conditions conduct, much legislation is moral legislation because it conditions the action and the thought of the nation in broad and important spheres of life.”
—George F. Will (b. 1941)
“An acquaintance with the muses, in the education of youth, contributes not a little to soften the manners. It gives a delicate turn to the imagination, and a kind of polish to the mind in severer studies.”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
