Welcome to Newman College Brighton
Open Evening
We are pleased to announce that our next Open Evening will be on Thursday 19 November 2026 5pm-8pm.
What to expect?
During our Open Evening, you will have the opportunity to speak to each of our subject teachers, listen to talks from Head of College Richard Marsh and students, as well as taking a look around our site. For those who prefer a calmer experience, a quieter hour will be available from 7–8pm, offering a more relaxed opportunity to explore the college and meet our staff.
At 5:15pm, 6:15pm and 7:15pm, Mr Marsh will deliver a 15-minute presentation in the Lecture Theatre (second floor). Please feel free to attend whichever time works best for you.
On the evening, please park in the School Car Park which can be accessed via the main gate on The Upper Drive (opposite Cottesmore Primary School). To then access the college, please exit the car park via The Upper Drive and then walk up to the College entrance gate.
Please click below to book and we look forward to seeing you on the 19th!
(Students must be accompanied by an adult at the Open Evening. If an adult is unable to attend with your child, please email us in advance so we can make suitable arrangements)
