Summary ofthe main This academic year there were 384 registered
pupils
achievements
ofthe charity
during the year
Three new teachers joined at the beginning
ofthe year and at the end
the year three also left, one ofthese retiring
after 35years ofteaching
of
at
the school.
Changes
had to be introduced
in the 'A' Level classes as the AS
examination
would
no longer be available.
This is in line with the general
changes
in the English examination
system. Students
had to be prepared
for three papers which would
all be taken together at the end ofthe two
year A Level course. Up to this point pupils were able to sit an AS
examination
after the first year, and the A2 papers after the second year.
In October 18 pupils were able to go to the theatre to watch a play
'Tango',
which is one ofthe 'set books' for the Polish A Level
examination.
At the beginning
of November,
workshops
were held on 'The
Independence
of Poland'
in line with 11'" November
anniversary,
a
poignant
date in the history of Poland. The school also had a visit from
Agata Kornhauser-Duda,
herself a former teacher, who had the
opportunity
to sit in on a lesson, then watch a short performance
of
national
dancing
performed
by year one pupils, a few poetry recitals
(older pupils) and finally songs sung by some of our pupils/scouts.
The event culminated
in a brief meeting
with the teachers. The visit was
part of many to supplementary
schools
in several countries
outside of
Poland
with a view to see how resources can be improved
in order to
help teach young people,
living abroad, about their culture and language.
Children
were also asked to draw or write about their understanding
of
11
November
Independence
of Poland,
and their work was displayed
in the
common areas on several Saturdays.
A traditional
Nativity
play was performed
by year 2 at the school and at
the Polish Parish church.
This year children took part in a Christmas
card competition.
Some classes made 'Pinocchio'
puppets
and several classes made 3D
nativity stables, some
in traditional
Cracovian
style using straw.
Other competitions:
John Paul
II (on what would have been his 100'"
birthday),
and 70'" anniversary
of our school.
Lessons were held as normal
from September 2019to March 2020. From
the middle of March to the end ofthe school year we had to conduct
all
lessons remotely
due to the Covid 19pandemic
and ensuing
lockdown
restrictions.
Teachers had to use resources
and equipment
which they had and hold
classes using online video conferencing
facilities where possible or set
work which they then marked. This was a difficult. period for both teachers
and pupils, who were already juggling jobs with regular school demands
during the week. Everyone spent a lot oftime learning
and mastering
new ways of working
and at the same time being sympathetic
to
individual
pupils/parents/teachers
and volunteers
circumstances.
As a result ofthe lockdown
many planned
activities/events
had to be
cancelled. This included a whole school trip, First Holy Communion,
our
school's 70'" anniversary
celebrations
and publications,
and school
examinations
(GCSE and AL).
