At Washington Academy, we believe that every child deserves to feel valued, supported, and inspired to achieve their very best. Our ethos is built on a strong sense of belonging, where pupils, staff, and families work together as one community.

As a school community, we created our values together. They guide everything we do, shape our relationships, and help our children grow both academically and personally:

• We have high expectations – We believe every child can succeed and we encourage them to aim high, challenge themselves, and take pride in their achievements.

• We treat everyone with respect – We value kindness, fairness, and understanding, and celebrate the diversity within our school community.

• We learn from our mistakes – We see mistakes as part of learning and help our children develop resilience, confidence, and a growth mindset.

• We care about every child – Every pupil matters at Washington Academy. We are committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment where each child can thrive.

Through these shared values, we strive to create a positive, inclusive, and ambitious school where children feel happy, confident, and ready for the future.

Excellence with integrity and equity
