Poland in the UK

Passing the Polish language exams carries several benefits, including:

• Developing language skills: taking the course and passing the Polish language GCSE exam enables the development of reading, writing, listening comprehension and speaking skills in Polish at a level beyond the child's home communication.
• Developing literacy in both languages: research shows that learning a second language positively impacts children's educational performance.
• Developing language skills base: this allows you to solidify the basics of the Polish language, enabling you to take the British A-level Polish Baccalaureate.
• Understanding one's roots: the Polish language GCSE programme includes the study of Polish culture and customs, allowing candidates to understand their roots and culture better.
• Additional grade in the high school application: a well-passed Polish language exam raises the grade point average when applying to high school.
• Passing Polish GCSE exams can increase the chances of future studies and a good career. Taking Polish GCSE exams can be useful when applying for higher education, especially in fields related to language, culture, or international relations, but that is not all. The ability to formally speak any additional language, as evidenced by appropriate certifications, is always well-received in personal statements during the recruitment process. It is also an additional asset on a CV during a job search.
• Maintaining contact with Poland and relatives from the country of origin: skilful use of the Polish language will help maintain and cultivate family ties with relatives in Poland.
• Boosting self-confidence: The ability to express oneself freely opens up new professional and educational prospects for people. It also boosts self-confidence and the ability to build and understand interpersonal relationships.
