Polish Saturday School Forest Gate–Ilford
Polish Saturday School
For many, our school is a place where Polish identity is nurtured. We not only share broad knowledge of Polish culture, traditions and the Polish language; above all, we spend time together on Saturdays. This gives our pupils a wonderful opportunity to make and strengthen friendships and to converse in a language which, increasingly, is a heritage, second or additional language for children and young people.
​
Polish Saturday School Forest Gate–Ilford provides education for children and young people living in the United Kingdom. Children are admitted from the nursery class in the academic year in which they turn three. Our primary aim is to strengthen in children a sense of Polish identity and patriotism, to nurture the Polish language, and to deepen their knowledge of literature, Polish traditions, history and geography.
Our school motto
"Docento Discimus:
When we teach, we learn.
By teaching we learn. "
​
- Seneka the Younger

65th Anniversary of the Polish School
We are exceptionally starting this school year 2021/2022, and its beauty is hidden, among others, in the Jubilee Celebrations

​
In Great Britain, we are one of the oldest Polish schools in operation, schools which, in the service of the Polish community, recognize the fundamental good as the highest good, i.e. good for children and young people . Tradition I modernisation are the two words that define our facility, a school that wants and is able to meet the expectations of its students. What else defines us? We invite you to read the Pamphlet.
