The document provides a brief history of the Polish Saturday School in Northampton, England, which has operated for 60 years to teach Polish culture, language, and customs to the children of Polish immigrants. It began in the late 19th century when Polish nuns came to England at the invitation of the Archbishop of Westminster to support the large Polish immigrant population. The school has partnered with several Polish and English organizations over the years and has received awards for its work teaching Polish heritage to children in the community.
