Our school is located in a quiet area on the outskirts of Wodzisław Śląski, in Silesia. Jedłownik, our district, is one of the oldest districts of the city. There are 212 pupils in the school between the ages of 7 and 15. The school employs 25 teachers who have extensive professional experience, are ambitious and active people, and want to constantly improve their professional qualifications.
Classes take place from 8.00 to around 15.10. The school provides extra-curricular activities: compensatory, sports, artistic and humanistic. In order to develop the potential of gifted students, we additionally offer them activities tailored to their needs and capabilities.
We are a small school, which allows us to approach each child individually. The school community creates "one big family". School staff have very good contact with parents and grandparents. The local community strongly supports our activities, both didactic and educational. On the other hand, the school is also involved in the life of the district and its residents. We involve not only students but also parents and grandparents, as well as our graduates. The school cooperates with local institutions, such as: a city library, our parish, a municipal museum, a rehabilitation center for children, the Volunteer Fire Brigade, local, rural institutions and a number of others. We cultivate history and traditions, with an emphasis on regionalism and the history of our region. Our school is visited by graduates and former teachers as well as former employees.
Our students achieve successes in competitions and very good results in tests summarizing the stage of primary school education. Most of our students come from families with a rich mining tradition. Almost all children have a full family and live in multigenerational households with grandparents.
In recent years, through the implementation of Comenius and Euroregion programs, we have enabled foreign trips of some children. We have participated in Comenius project “European culture through art and research“ /2013-2015/. We also took part in POWERSE „Kreatywność i język angielski kluczem do przyszłości.” /2016-2018/ programme which allowed some of the school's staff to develop the knowledge of English and gain additional experience and knowledge on teaching creatively. We hope that the implementation of the project, by raising our qualifications and students' knowledge will create better atmosphere and let our students feel more secure and self confident in school environment.
