Newells Preparatory School came to Lower Beeding, Sussex, in 1946. It has been at Handcross Park House, Handcross, since 1968 and merged with Brighton College in 2011.
The school was originally known as Wykeham Hall. It was founded in 1887 by Rev. William Henry Webb, at Wykeham Hall, Lee-on-Solent. It was taken over by his son Ernest Webb in 1903 and later moved to nearby Seafield Park.
On the outbreak of World War II, when Seafield Park was taken over for the Fleet Air Arm, the school moved to Endsleigh House, Milton Abbott, near , Devon. This house had been built in 1810 and had continued in use as the summer holiday home for successive Dukes of Bedford. It had been designed by Sir Jeffry Wyattville as a cottage orne´ for John Russell, 6th Duke of Bedford. On the conclusion of the War the Admiralty retained Seafield Park for naval use and the Duke of Bedford re-possessed his country home. The school was then moved to Newells, Lower Beeding, Nr Horsham, Sussex. Captain Peter Hope-Lang took over from Ernest Webb as Headmaster. The school badge was retained but the name of the school changed from Seafield Park to Newells.
