Equality, Diversity and Inclusivity

Varndean College students experience a stimulating and enriching education, characterised by academic excellence, outstanding teaching and support, as well as extensive opportunities for development and growth. Our priority is to develop our students into well-rounded, confident individuals who are aspirational, excited and ready to move on to the next stage of their lives.

The college has a real community ethos that treats students as individuals and that values the rich diversity of its students and staff. We are committed to celebrating equality, diversity and inclusivity in order to eliminate bias and discrimination of any kind, promote equality of opportunity for all, and promote harmonious relations between people from diverse groups and backgrounds.

We have a dynamic culture which engages staff and students, celebrates achievement, encourages innovation, and strives for continual improvement.

We enable true social mobility for all student groups, providing the environment, support and opportunities that every student needs to succeed in order to narrow gaps within society.

Equality & diversity is at the heart of all we do. We promote understanding and respect for different cultures and communities, in college, locally and globally.

We provide excellent opportunities for enrichment, well-being and pastoral support so that we build resilient, happy and successful students who flourish in life.

We believe in inspirational governance, leadership and management and invest in our staff, empowering a confident, diverse and energised workforce.
