Beijing Bayi School Visit
The College welcomed 80 visitors from China's Beijing Bayi School yesterday, who were visiting Brighton as part of a UK cultural tour. They enjoyed seeing our beautiful college and learning more about our successful A Star project.
Following a tour of the college and lunch in our canteen, they then attended a presentation in the hall. This included two Varndean International students, Xiaoheng Sun (Year 1) and Erjia Liu (Year 2) who gave a short talk about their time studying A levels at Varndean and a beautiful dance performance.

Many of our Business Studies and Law students were presented with one of Varndean College’s ‘Upwards Through Business & Law’ awards yesterday. These awards are decided by the Business and Law tutors, as well as the Principal, and given out each term to those students on Business and Law courses to recognise their outstanding work, achievement and effort.
Three Varndean College international students have just won prizes in the UKMT Senior Maths Challenge. Yanlei Chen achieved a score of 102 (which was the highest score of all Year 1 participants from Varndean), winning her a Gold medal and also a place in the British Mathematical Olympiad Round 1 (BMO1) ; Jingya Wang, who achieved Silver; and Jiawei Bai who achieved a Bronze medal.
Following their recent visit, Ofsted inspectors have once again confirmed Varndean College as being a ‘good’ college, where students thrive and achieve. Many aspects of the report received outstanding recognition and praise, with the College’s major strengths being identified as follows:
Varndean Science student Anya-Niamh Tidey has her eyes set on a medical career in The Army when she graduates, but her passion, skills and achievements have already been recognised by The Army who have awarded her a remarkable seven year bursary.
