Polish Programme

"A happy family run school with a very cohesive community of young learners being provided for to the very best of their abilities by a dedicated and hard-working team of teachers, 
assistants and administrators who all clearly had the best interests of their students at the centre of all that they were striving to do."

- ECIS Inspection Report


English as an Additional Language (EAL) and English as a Second Language (ESL)


BISC Wrocław welcomes students from across the globe, many of whom may be new to English. We understand that newly arrived children who have previously had little exposure to the English language face a three-fold difficulty: keeping up with their studies, making new friends and learning an entirely new language which may be greatly different from their own.

EAL and ESL lessons follow the English National Curriculum guidance that enshrines full access to all areas of the curriculum for all learners.

  • In the Primary School, EAL lessons are timetabled parallel to the English lessons, with additional support offered in lieu of another foreign language. Between eleven and thirteen weekly lessons are spent on practising the English language and language arts. Within two years, Primary pupils who arrive at BISC with no command of the language typically become fluent and confident users of English in speech and text.
  • In the Secondary School, ESL lessons are offered as a course selection in Key Stages 3 and 4 and based on the Cambridge Lower Secondary and the Cambridge IGCSE curricula. 5 weekly lessons in small, focused groups are timetabled for each ESL pupil based on the programme that leads them to take the Cambridge Checkpoint exam in Year 9 (to be offered in 2022 for the first time) and the IGCSE ESL exam in Year 11, with a typical CEFR level of B1 reached.
  • Students nearing the end of their education in the 6th Form College receive support in their preparation to the IELTS and TOEFL tests during four timetabled weekly lessons. ​
