Primary School is a co-educational primary school providing
education from Reception Grade to Grade 7. The school
is committed to a policy of non- discrimination on the
grounds of race, gender and religious belief. The medium of
instruction is English.
Our supportive parent body has always
voted overwhelmingly in favour of paying for educators
above the Departmental quota of 15 and so we have 14
full time and 6 part time educators on our staff whose
salaries are paid for by the parent body through the
Governing Body. This ensures that we are able to offer
quality education and keep the ratio of learners to
educators at more or less 32:1. Each class from Grades
1 to 7 has 3 classes.
Salaries for additional support staff
(administrative and ground/maintenance) are also paid by
the Parent Body. Parents and Learners may make use of
the services of a Learning Support Educator and our
Social Worker if and when necessary.
We have three Reception Grade classes.
The reception year is an important developmental year
and we strongly recommend that, although it is not
compulsory, all learners attend a year before starting
school.
Learners who attend our Reception Grade
are expected to continue into Grade One at our School.
By law children must be admitted into Grade One in the
year in which they turn seven and should attend the school
closest to their residential address. These learners
are given preference but each admission is dealt with
empathetically.
After an interview
and on acceptance of your child a non-refundable
deposit is paid to secure his/her place at Bergvliet Primary
School. This amount is deducted from your
annual fees.
If
you would like your child to attend our School, please
collect an enrolment form from Reception, Mondays to
Fridays, 08:00 - 15:00.
