DECEMBER/JANUARY - ADMISSIONS INTERVIEWS
Attend an Admissions Interview, usually in January or February.
At the interview we will discuss your course choices with you, and providing you are

school, you will be offered a conditional place. Please note that late in the application
cycle, this may be a ‘waiting list offer’.

offers a valuable opportunity to attend subject sessions for your chosen courses, meet
staff and become involved in our vibrant community atmosphere. This is also when we
set important ‘Course Start’ work for you.
AUGUST - ENROLMENT
Following your GCSE results, attend an Enrolment Meeting to finalise
your programme of study.
SEPTEMBER - INDUCTION DAY
Before teaching commences in early September, you will have a comprehensive induction
to life as a sixth form student to ensure the start of your journey at Varndean Sixth Form
College is an exciting and positive one.
