Our school

Our school has been transformed into a primary school recently due to an educational reform in our country. We used to be a middle school for students aged from 13 to 16. At present we have the remaining 2nd and 3rd-grade level students of the middle school and the new 4th to 7th-grade level students of the primary school in the same building. After this school year, we will become a big primary school with 1st to 8th-grade students (aged from 7 to 15). Our school is a village school, but the building itself is settled very close to a small town Rawicz. Currently, we have about 800 students and 75 teachers.

We have participated in some Comenius projects, E-twinning before and in one Erasmus + project. As a newly established primary school, this is our first project but with the same teachers who led the previous programmes.
