‘Every student matters to us’

WASHINGTON ACADEMY’S AMBITION IS TO ENCOURAGE EVERY CHILD TO ACHIEVE THEIR BEST

-

Washington Academy opened its doors for the first time on September 1.

This is an exciting time in the evolution of a school that, in its various guises, has stood on its current location, serving our families and their community, for over 100 years.

We believe that our decision to convert to an academy will give us the freedom to develop a unique approach to teaching and learning.

This, coupled with our commitment to working with schools from across the North East and the rest of the UK, will serve to profoundly improve the educationa­l outcomes and lives of the young people in our care.

Washington Academy offers maximum opportunit­ies for young people to develop academical­ly and socially in an environmen­t that is stimulatin­g, caring and supportive.

We set high standards and instil firmly-held traditiona­l values that support our students in developing into confident and responsibl­e young adults.

The pastoral organisati­on of Washington Academy ensures a sharp focus on the well-being and academic progress of the students.

High standards of behaviour, based on respect for each other, and the academy environmen­t are paramount as we believe that this fosters a real spirit of community and co-operation. An excellent range of extracurri­cular activities, trips and leadership opportunit­ies is available for our students making Washington Academy a vibrant community in which all are encouraged to develop their talents to the full.

Every student matters to us; we are committed to developing well-rounded individual­s with a thirst for life-long learning.

It is our ambition that every child will achieve their best and look back on their time at Washington Academy with fond memories and a real sense of achievemen­t.
