The number of pupils in September is always greater than at the end of school year - this is a
typical process. We removed for our lists many pupils in September because parents did not
inform us that they had resigned, and pupils on the waiting lists had already signed up for other
schools at that time. Some resigned within a year (they tried but unfortunately, they found that
they would not be able to do it), some returned to Poland.

As teachers could only base pupils on their grades for the first semester, Senior Leadership Team decided to “pass” the entire year to such students without grading.

Co-curricular activities:

• 27.11.2021 - II Conference of Polish Organizations in London – the school was represented by Mrs Edyta Ozarek, presenting the activities of our school. • 12.03.2022 - "Polish Day" in The Atkinson - the representation of our school was presenting Polish culture, costumes, interesting facts about Poland. • 16.04.2022 - III Edition of the Audition ‘A Guest of Polish Romanticism’ - our school was represented for the third time by the Headteacher, Mrs Edyta Ozarek • 12.05.2022 – Polish Heritage Day – different projects and activities were carried out in individual classes.
