Our school is located in the municipality of Rudniki in Krakowsko-
Częstochowska upland. Rudniki is a small village in the south-west of
Poland, 50 kilometres from Częstochowa – a catholic pilgrimage center
for the people from all over the world and 100 kilometres from Wrocław -
one of the largest and most modern cities in Poland. Our Town is near the
River Warta.

3. Patron
The patron of the school is a prominent Polish film director - Andrzej Wajda. He is
well-known both in Poland and abroad. He was awarded an Oscar in 2000.
Andrzej Wajda visited our school a few times and often writes letters to us.

4. History
At the beginning , the school was situated in the manor house in Rudniki. It was built
in 1666 and was used as a school until 1958. The school had 443 students and only
10 teachers in 1936. When the Second World War began the school was closed. In
October 1939, the teachers returned to school, but after a few days they were forced
to flee and start underground education known as secret learning. In 1945 the
school was re-established. Conditions were very difficult because there was no
exercise books, school benches and other equipment. In 1958 a new school building
was built. It was the first school with a gym in the area! Since 2000, the school
building was converted in the Andrzej Wajda Junior High School. From the school
year 2002/2003 the school has been functioning very well and is one of the
best schools in the province.
