Identity and aims of the school
We follow the core curriculum for Polish pupils studying outside Poland.
Many of our teachers work successfully with curricula they have developed themselves, tailored to the children’s abilities. Through sport, art, music, drama and other creative activities, we develop children’s innate potential and abilities.
A specially designed psychological and educational programme helps children develop their personalities to the full.
We want all our pupils to be able to use the knowledge they have gained confidently in Polish.
Our school works in cooperation with Polska Macierz Szkolna (Polish Educational Society) in England, and prepares pupils for national examinations at GCSE and A-level, as well as for First Holy Communion.
Our aim is also to integrate with the community in which we live, and through our activities we wish to promote Polish culture in the English community.
We employ carefully selected staff with teaching qualifications and experience of teaching children in Great Britain, who are able to develop pupils’ individual talents in line with their innate potential and abilities.
We continually improve our qualifications by taking part in training courses and workshops for teachers.
