SCHOOL READINESS

Should a prospective Grade R learner not be ready for Grade 1, the Grade R year can be repeated only with permission from the Western Cape Education Department and after a comprehensive psychological school readiness assessment has been completed.

We endeavour to pinpoint any areas of concern during the years before Grade R so that steps can be taken early to remedy any impediments to learning that the child may face.  If an area of concern is picked up, the school will refer the pupil to an independent professional for assessment in that area, and we will work in conjunction with them and the parents to facilitate improvement.
