Before you start at Varndean Sixth Form College you need to complete some Course Start work for each of the subjects you are enrolled on. This would have been discussed with you at the recent New Students’ Day. This work must be completed before your first lessons in September. Course Start work contains subject specific reading and tasks designed to help you make the transition from school to college and prepare you for your first lessons.
Here is a full list of Course Start work for all subjects.
For those students who have already applied and accepted a place – Once you have received your GCSE results on Thursday 20 August, please use the link already emailed to you to upload the results to your application record.

Please note, any course change requests now have to be discussed at your Enrolment Meeting at the end of August.
