Polish School of London

The Polish School of London was an educational initiative established in 1941 during World War II to serve Polish refugee children living in Britain. It aimed to provide continuity in education consistent with Polish curricula while integrating into the UK environment. The school offered lessons in various subjects, conducted in Polish, to help students maintain their cultural and national identity amid displacement. It also fostered a sense of community among Polish refugees and helped preserve their heritage during challenging times. The school operated until 1949, playing a vital role in supporting Polish youth and cultural continuity abroad.
