Year 10 Taster Days 2025

HELP & ADVICE ON CHOOSING YOUR SUBJECTS

When choosing your subjects, it is important to bear the following points in mind:-

Choose the subjects which you are actually interested in - not those that your friends have chosen! Remember, you may not want to study the same subjects as they do if you go to college.
Due to the limited time we have, you will not be able to participate in all the subjects you might wish to study at college, so think about what you might enjoy at this particular time.
Do not dismiss those subjects which you are already studying at school - you may find that they are very different at college.
To choose one of our Modern Foreign Language sessions, you must already be studying that language at GCSE level. To choose Maths you should already be studying Higher Tier GCSE Maths. Please bear this in mind when choosing your sessions, as unfortunately we cannot place you onto these subjects if you do not meet the criteria stated.

Apply using the Online Application forms here: Friday 4th July (FULL) and Tuesday 15th July (CLOSED)

Closing date: Friday 16th May 2025 (BOOKINGS NOW CLOSED)

You will receive an acknowledgement email. Please check you receive this - check your Spam too!
Your parent/guardian will also be emailed a Parental Consent/Medical Declaration form which must be completed and returned. Please get them to check both their Inbox and Spam box. Without the receipt of this form, we will not be able to confirm your place at the Taster Day.
We will email you in June to confirm which sessions you have been placed on and with full details of the day. We will try to place you on your first four choices of subjects. However, this may not always be possible due to demand, in which case we will place you on one of your other choices.
If PE, Sport & Fitness is one of your allocated subjects, you will be asked to bring your PE kit with you on the day. You will be informed of this in the confirmation email.
If you wish to change the date of your application or your choice of subjects, please email year10day@varndean.ac.uk Please do not submit a second application.

We then look forward to seeing you at the Taster Day.
