There are several schools within the Aspley council estate, among them Trinity School, Nottingham Girls' Academy and Bluecoat Aspley Academy. It also had the since demolished William Crane Comprehensive School which in 1999 finished joint bottom in the GCSE league tables, with only 4% of the 104 pupils being awarded with five GCSE's A-C's. William Crane eventually went onto close in 2003, in an interview with "The Guardian" assistant director of education at Nottingham city council, Russell Andrews explained "What we've got is a multi-layered set of social problems -social unrest where the school is, low morale among staff, low expectations, low input among parents. Had we taken a multi-layered approach to solving the problems five years ago it might have been different." Since the closure of William Crane, the two remaining primary schools in the area are currently Ambleside Primary School and Rosslyn Park Primary & Nursery School which has since moved to the Amesbury Circus site.
