Newtown School was founded in 1798 by the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers). The ideals of its founders still inspire the School which today educates boys and girls for life in the 21st century.Newtown School shares a way of life rather than a set of beliefs. The School believes that ‘there is that of God in everyone’ and recognise no barriers of colour, class or gender. The school aims to foster a sense of caring for others and to communicate a set of values which reflects a balance between the material and the spiritual.
