Varndean College is very proud of the fact that students who study here do significantly better than would be expected of them based on their GCSE results they come here with.
In the Department of Education’s “16-18 Schools and Colleges Performance Table for Value Added” Varndean College is in the top 10% of UK schools and sixth form colleges.
‘Value Added’ scores are Government calculations which provide a measure as to how much more or less successful students have been by declaring how much ‘value’ has been added to their results. This means that Varndean students perform better than 99% of all other schools/sixth forms in the country compared to students with the same GCSE grades on entry. This confirms the high quality teaching support, care and guidance that takes place here.
