Shortly after the council notify you of your place at Varndean, we will send out a link asking you to complete your child's registration details online. There is no need to complete the standard council registration form.

Our first event is for parents and carers where we invite you into school to share some key information about how life at Varndean works.

When creating tutor groups we take a number of considerations into account. We prioritise matching siblings in our smaller schools so that existing relationships can be continued with families and the School Base pastoral teams. We will also note the information you give in your registration along with the information we gather from your child’s current school. Rest assured we always aim for your child to join with someone they know and learn well with. 

Once you know your child's tutor group and school, you can purchase their uniform, available from Inter Sport, Lewes. Please don't buy a tie until you have received your child's tutor group notification.

We will be inviting all families to an individual tutor meeting so that we can get to know you and your child before they start with us.

During the Transition Day, your child will come into Varndean School and will take part in multiple fun, interactive activities. This is a fantastic opportunity for Year 6 students to get to know their future teachers and peers.
