We are delighted to welcome you to our Information Evening, from 5.30pm to 8pm.

The Henley College inspires students in a vibrant and diverse place of learning, empowering young people to achieve their academic potential, grow in confidence and prepare for higher education and professional careers. Equality and diversity are at the heart of the College, creating a supportive and inclusive environment where every member of our community is respected and celebrated.

Just a short walk from our Rotherfield and Deanfield campuses is the heart of Henley-on-Thames, a picturesque market town on the banks of the River Thames in South Oxfordshire, bordering Berkshire and Buckinghamshire.

Tonight is a fantastic opportunity to experience our campuses in person, explore our state-of-the-art facilities, meet our Principal, Senior Leadership Team, teaching staff and students, and discover what makes The Henley College a unique, welcoming and ambitious place to study.

IMPORTANT – Please allow extra time for your journey and parking

There is NO visitor parking at either our Deanfield or Rotherfield campus, and no public vehicle access via Paradise Road.

Henley is expected to be extremely busy this evening and local car parks may fill quickly. Please allow plenty of additional time for your journey, finding a parking space and walking to the College. We strongly recommend using public transport where possible.
