History and Alumni Varndean School has a proud history and has undergone many changes to bring us to the place we are now. It started life as York Place School in the cente of Brighton in 1884. It was the inspirational and determined headteacher, Miss Ethel Ellis (Headteacher 1909-1937), who had a new modern vision for girls' education and brought the school to its current site in 1926. Since then the school has evolved into a vibrant and diverse co-education comprehensive school with a population of over 1300 students which represents the community we serve. We have several notable alumni and are always keen to hear news of our students past and present.
