Electives

Our Electives offer a wide range of clubs, societies, and activities before and after school every day of the week.

Although optional, many pupils take part to enjoy the variety of engaging opportunities available, with House points awarded for regular attendance.

Pupils choose their Electives at the start of each term (Autumn, Spring, and Summer) and can refresh their choices each term as new activities become available.

Most Electives are free, though a small contribution may be required for those led by our team of highly skilled and well qualified external providers.

Our recent Electives offer has included Circus Skills at The Oak Circus, Kahoot Quiz Club, Warhammer, Homework Club, 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.
