viewed from Balfour Road Historically the current Varndean School building was the Varndean Girls School and the current Varndean College building was Varndean Boys school. The Boys School became a sixth form college in 1975, and in 1979 boys were admitted to the girls school for the first time and it became a mixed high school for 11-16 year olds. In 1998 Varndean School became the first school in the city to be designated a specialist school. The school gained a second specialism in music in 2006 and a vocational specialism in 2007 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varndean_School
