Welcome to Jane Austen College's story. Jane Austen College is a wonderful
English and humanities specialist school, of which I am proud to be Principal.
Jane Austen College provides an excellent academic education for all its
students but it also does a lot more than that. All of our students have the
opportunity to develop as rounded, confident young people, exploring their
personal interests and developing new passions. Through all that we do our aim
is always the same: to provide the best education we can for our young people. I
believe passionately that all children have the potential to succeed in life,
and that school should give them the opportunity to do just that. Our excellent
pastoral support system ensures that our students are helped to do their best
and are happy in school – every day. Our student leadership opportunities also
help students to develop self-awareness and social confidence. Great outcomes
are possible when students are happy and feel challenged and fulfilled;
fantastic things can be achieved when students have the best possible teaching.
Our school values are - work hard, be kind, take responsibility, and we
encourage our students to adopt these values in everything they do. Our slightly
longer school day ensures that our students have time for a high-quality
academic curriculum, independent study time, and a range of clubs and
activities. We want them to find their school day stimulating and engaging and
develop a real love of learning. Our motto is to develop our knowledge and
character so that we lead great lives. We make no apology for challenging our
students and having high aspirations for them. We also have high expectations of
our staff – our students deserve it. Students and staff at the Jane Austen
College work hard but every day is rewarding and inspiring. I look forward to
meeting you and working with you to make your child’s future a successful and
exciting one.
