At Varndean, students achieve more...
Situated on a beautiful hilltop location with stunning views of Brighton, Varndean College is a highly successful and unique sixth form college offering academic excellence. With an outstanding academic track record, where students become academically accomplished and flourish as part of a welcoming, inspirational and close-knit family, the College offers over 30 traditional A Levels, a diverse range of Vocational Courses and Level 2 courses, as well as the prestigious and internationally recognised International Baccalaureate Diploma.
A large percentage of our students progress on to university each year, with many studying at top Russell Group universities, including Oxbridge. Recent HESA (Higher Education Statistics Agency) statistics show that in 2022, 94.8% of our students studying at Russell Group universities graduated with a First or Upper Second Class honours degree, higher than those students from the independent sector.
With approx 2000 students aged 16-19 years, Varndean College provides a real community ethos with outstanding support, where students thrive, and where we put student happiness at the heart of everything we do. We are in the top 10% of UK schools and sixth-form colleges for value-added, meaning the students who study here achieve much higher than expected of them based on the GCSE grades they arrive with.
