Jane Austen College opened in 2014 as a flagship free school of the Inspiration Trust, with a focus on English and Humanities. Since then, it has grown from serving just two year groups to become a full 1118 school of over 1,100 students.

In May 2024 the college was rated Outstanding by Ofsted in all inspection areas, including leadership, behaviour and sixth form provision. Inspectors noted that students benefit from “exceptional academic education, excellent pastoral support and a character curriculum building life skills to see them succeed in progressing to some of the top universities in the country and into prosperous careers.”

The college prides itself on ensuring that all students – regardless of background or disadvantage – have access to powerful knowledge and transformative extracurricular experiences, as well as strong mental health and wellbeing support.

Sir Isaac Newton Sixth Form is a highly successful maths and science specialist sixth form for students aged 16-19, located in the heart of Norwich. Ranked sixth nationally in the Sunday Times Parent Power guide, the school has been judged Outstanding by Ofsted in all areas.
