On Friday we will be celebrating all that our students have achieved this academic year in four school achievement assemblies.
Parents are welcome to attend their child’s Celebration of Achievement Assembly. If you would like to attend please email school@varndean.co.uk with your child’s name and form group and the number attending.
Please note that your child will be required to wear their full school uniform on this day as we demonstrate pride in our schools and our communities.
Students attend school only for their final tutor time and their Celebration of Achievement Assembly. The timings for these are listed below.
