Polish Saturday School Forest Gate–Ilford
School duty
Our school has approximately 500 children and teenagers. All Students gather on the field before the start of lessons and during each break. To ensure order and safety for our students, we need about 20 people to patrol the pitch and other places on the school premises. For this purpose, the help of the Parents / Guardians is necessary.
The fees charged for the education of children are disproportionate to the costs incurred by the school during the school year. Therefore, we organize various types of events aimed at collecting additional funds. Such events include games for adults and children, lotteries and fairs, etc.
