Executive Head Teacher Mr J Hallworth and his team is really designing and creating opportunity for teachers, students, Guardian and for the community new method in the schooling system. This school can be a model to other schools not only in UK but I think whole over the World for its extra ordinary co-curricular method and new ideology.
In my visiting moment at Washington school I was more excited hearing about school Place Washington. In the past I knew that there are two Washington; one is Washington City in USA and another one is Washington D C the Capital of United States of America where I visited several times.
I am as a Member of alumni.State.gov (U S Department of State), it will be right to express a little about in depth of the Washington DC; USA and Washington of Sunderland in relation with Gorge Washington.
George Washington (February 22, 1732 [O.S. February 11, 1731] – December 14, 1799) was the first President of the United States of America, serving from 1789 to 1797. Over eight hundred years ago, the Washington family took its name from Wessyngton, England. In 1789, General George Washington, a descendant of that family became the first President of USA. Wessyngton is thought to be taken from the Anglo Saxon words “Hwaessa”, “Ing” and “Tun”, together meaning “Hwaessa’s family estate”; over time the name changed to Washington. In 1789, General George Washington, a descendant of that family, became the first President of the United States of America and the capital of the new nation was named in his honour. The first ancestor of George Washington to live in Washington was William de Hertburn who moved to the village in 1183 after exchanging land at Hertburn (now Hartburn near Stockton) with the Bishop of Durham. Before surnames were in general use, nobles and landowners assumed the name of the property they owned. So William de Hertburn became William de Wessyngton.
On 20 June 2006, Leader of Sunderland City Council, Councilor Bob Symonds, signed an Agreement of Friendship with Washington D.C. The Friendship Agreement formalizes Sunderland’s unique historical link with the American Capital and was signed with Anthony Williams, Mayor of Washington DC, USA.
The Friendship Agreement means that, the two cities will collaborate on a host of activities to create closer friendship and cooperation between both cities and develop programmes of mutual benefit. The two cities will share information and cooperate on activities linked to the historic ties, which go back to 1183. In addition, work will focus on boosting economic development, generating new cultural and educational programmes, promoting tourism and sharing experience on social inclusion and e-government initiatives to promote citizen participation.
This is a remarkable realistic story in my life that I have got a chance to visit these 03 Washington historical Place in the World.
I heartily thank to Executive Head Teacher Mr J. Hallworth; Mrs Lesley Etherington, Mr Amir Ali Teacher who accompany with me all the time; teachers staff; students of the Washington school and I also heartily thank to Mr Brian and Ms Lucy for scheduling me a good time building , nice place to my visit.
