History

Plans for the school were announced in March 2013 with the intention to locate in central Norwich.^[2] Jane Austen was approved by the Department for Education, on 22 May 2013, to open in September 2014.^[3]

Academic organisation

The school has an admission number of 180 students per year between Years 7 and 11, and a smaller sixth form. There is an extended school day, with optional sessions running until 5.30pm three days a week for students to complete homework on site. Within the school day students spend dedicated time on an ‘elective’ activity of their choice such as choir, football, or STEM studies.

Qualifications offered

The school offers a range of GCSEs with core subjects comprising English, maths, science, PE, philosophy, humanities, and modern foreign languages, and options including Latin, engineering, dance, drama, business studies, and computer science. Further qualifications such as the Arts Awards or Duke of Edinburgh’s Award are also available through the school’s electives programme.

A Level options at the sixth form focus on arts, English, drama, and the humanities, and there is a reciprocal arrangement with nearby Sir Isaac Newton Sixth Form for students who wish to study science or maths. In 2018, 88% of A Level students achieved an A* - C grade.

Physical education

Pupils travel to the University of East Anglia or The Hewett Academy for sports lessons and some electives. The facilities available at those sites allow teaching of units such as football, hockey, netball and swimming. In 2018 the Eileen Ash Sports Hall was opened on the edge of The Hewett Academy site for use by Jane Austen College^[4].
