School Information

Polish Saturday School

Our Polish Saturday School is located in the Adult Community College in Ambleside Drive,  Southend-on-Sea, which is a seaside town twinned with the Polish seaside town of Sopot on the north coast of Poland.

Southend-on-Sea is located in the County of Essex in the southeast of England about 36 miles (60km) from the City of London. It is located beside the sea near the mouth of the River Thames.

The Polish Saturday School in Southend-on-Sea invites all children and parents to join us.

If your child is not speaking Polish - we can teach your child.

Or, if your child can speak and understand Polish - we will substantiate your child's language.

Parents are very welcome to learn with their children.

During the time that children are in class, parents can sit in the college cafe, talk, make friends, swap ideas and information and they can learn English.

We cater for all ages of children between 4 and 11 years. Classes are divided into four age groups plus the arts group :

The First Group  -  teaches pre-school children who are beginning to learn the Polish language and the Polish alphabet.

The Second Group  -  is for beginners similar to British schools Years 1 and 2. They are learning basic speaking, reading, understanding and writing.

The Third Group  -  is intermediate, they learn Polish literature and Polish grammar.

The Fourth Group  -  we are going to create another class for young people to study for G.C.S.E  and A Level examinations.

The Arts Group  (Theatre & Dancing)  -  this group holds classes for  students from the fourth group and some from younger groups. During the classes children learn traditional dances from various Polish regions.

The Adults Group  (TEFL / ESOL)  -  this group is for Polish adults who wish to learn English or to improve their English. Most adult students are the parents of children in the Polish Saturday School, but other adults are welcome to attend, learn and make friends. Time - 10:00 to 12:30.

Lessons are normally held every Saturday morning, the earliest start at 9:30 and most end at 12:30, we leave the school at 1.00pm.

Arts group lessons are held between 9:30 and 10:30 for the singing and dance classes, and then from 10:30 to 12:30 children go for their Polish Language lessons.


We now have about 40 pupils.
