Many of Washington Academy’s former pupils have completed courses at the college and then gone on to study at university. Each year the college publishes a roll of honour showing the courses our students studied and the universities they have successfully gained entry to. It gives us great pleasure each year to see familiar names going on to study in the countries best universities.
