That aim applies to everyone who works here, from the grounds staff to the finance team to the people who work closely with our alumni. What else sets us apart? We strive to create a culture underpinned by care for our community - students, parents, staff, past students and those who live nearby - and by an appreciation of the importance of service. The College is supported by a strong sense of integrity: values like respect, honesty, fairness and responsibility are important to us. Collaboration isn’t just a buzzword and we ensure the resources are available to make the most of every opportunity.

Newington College is, we think, a great place to work and for our students to learn. If our approach appeals to you - and if you think you could contribute to our strong existing foundations - we’d like to hear from you.
