THE POLISH COMMUNITY SCHOOL PORTSMOUTH
Our school provides education of Polish language, elements of history, geography, maths, culture and traditions to children with Polish heritage and children who would like to learn Polish and about Poland. We organise theatre trips, educational outings and other activities that complement pupil's education and development in mainstream schools. We prepare children for the Polish GSCE exams.
