Newington College is a multi-campus independent Uniting Church single-sex and co-educational early learning, primary and secondary day and boarding school for boys, located in Stanmore, an inner-western suburb of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Established in 1863 at Newington House, Silverwater, the college celebrated its sesquicentenary in 2013. The college is open to boys of all faiths and denominations. Newington has been governed by an Act of Parliament since 1922.[7]
Newington has two preparatory schools, Wyvern House in Cambridge Street, Stanmore, and a school at Lindfield on Sydney's Upper North Shore.[8] Newington currently caters for approximately 2,000 students from Kindergarten to Year 12.[6] Edmund Webb House, a boarding facility, is in Cambridge Street, Stanmore.[8] The Robert Glasson Memorial Boat Shed is on the Parramatta River at Abbotsford and contains a boarding facility for thirty boys.[9]
As of 2021[update], Newington has 16 houses, expanded from eight houses. The college is a member of the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia (AHISA),[10] the Junior School Heads Association of Australia (JSHAA),[11] the Australian Boarding Schools' Association,[8] and is a founding member of the Athletic Association of the Great Public Schools of New South Wales (AAGPS).[12]
The college prepares students for the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme and the NSW Higher School Certificate.
In 2026, Newington will become co-educational with the admittance of girls into Year 5 with the intention of being fully co-ed by 2033.[13]
