Szkola Podstawowa nr 2 w Lipnie

Our school is under the patronage of Wladyslaw Broniewski. He was a famous poet and soldier who fought in the Polish-Bolshevik war and was decorated with the order Virtuti Militari.The construction of the school building was started in the interwar time. On 1 September, 1938 first classes took place in the new, yet not fully completed building. The school was primarily for female only.During the II World War time only German children could attend the classes and at the turn of 1944 and 1945 the building served as a military hospital for Germans. After the war the authorities restored the school educational activity. The first headmaster was A. Kafarski and the staff consisted of 8 teachers. Finally, in 1948 the school went coed and first boys came to our school.From year to year the school has enlarged its pupils and staff number as well as teaching aids. In 1974 and 1975 many reforms were introduced to the Polish educational system. Our school became then a Commune Collective School which meant that children from other villages could be brought to the school. On 14 May, 1977 the school was given the name of its patron – W³adys³aw Broniewski.In 1985 the Commune Collective School name was replaced by today's PrimarySchool No 2. Apart from that, the school was included into the unities governed by theInspector of Education placed in Lipno.Nowadays our school is known as a well prospering organ consisting of 633 pupils and 47 members of the staff under the superiority of the headmistress Mrs. Ewa Urbanska
