Electives

Our Electives are clubs, societies and activities which take place before and after school hours every day of the week. Participation in Electives is optional but we find that many pupils choose to take part due to the varied and exciting activities provided. Housepoints are awarded for regular attendance at Electives. Pupils choose their Electives at the start of each term and then refresh at the start of the next term, when the new offer is available (Autumn Term, Spring Term, Summer Term). The majority of our Electives are free, however, we do ask for a small contribution for those activities being led by our team of highly skilled and well qualified external providers.

Our recent Electives offer has included Circus Skills at The Oak Circus, Creative Writing, Mythology, Warhammer, Harry Potter club, Youth Group with MAP, Dance Performance group, Chess club and various Sports and Fitness activities.

Whatever your passion and interest, you will be able to develop it at Jane Austen College. Why not let us know if there's a club or activity you'd like us to offer as part of our extra-curricular programme? Email enrichmentandcurriculum@janeaustencollege.co.uk.
