Newington has been governed by an Act of Parliament since 1922.

Newington has two preparatory schools, Wyvern House in Cambridge Street, Stanmore, and a school at Lindfield on Sydney's Upper North Shore. Newington currently caters for approximately 2,000 students from Kindergarten to Year 12. Edmund Webb House, a boarding facility, is in Cambridge Street, Stanmore. The Robert Glasson Memorial Boat Shed is on the Parramatta River at Abbotsford and contains a boarding facility for thirty boys.

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.

On 31 January 2024 old boys and student's families protested the transition to a co-ed school at the front gate to the school. Some participants at the protest were mocked as man babies online.
