DE KROON PRIMARY SCHOOL
A CAPS-aligned, balanced curriculum from Grade R to Grade 7.
We follow the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) of the Department of Basic Education, enriched with reading, project work and Setswana cultural studies. Foundation Phase (Grade R–3) focuses on literacy and numeracy; Intermediate (4–6) and Senior (7) Phases broaden into subject-based learning.
Strong reading and writing skills are the foundation of every subject we teach.
Hands-on Mathematics and Natural Sciences build curious problem-solvers.
Creative Arts and Life Skills release each child's unique talents.
Indigenous knowledge, history and Heritage Day shape our cultural identity.
| Phase | Grades | Core Focus | Subjects per Week |
|---|---|---|---|
| Foundation Phase | Grade R – 3 | Literacy, numeracy, life skills, play-based learning | 3 subjects |
| Intermediate Phase | Grade 4 – 6 | Independent reading, multi-step Maths, Natural Sciences | 6 subjects |
| Senior Phase | Grade 7 | Subject specialisation, exam techniques, high-school readiness | 9 subjects |
Our school day begins at 07:30 with morning assembly — a moment for school news, a thought for the day and a song that brings every grade together. Lessons run in 30 to 45-minute periods with two short breaks for fresh air and the National School Nutrition Programme meal.
Mr Engelbrecht, our Principal, walks the corridors every morning to greet learners by name, reflecting our small-school promise: nobody is invisible at De Kroon.
Where literacy, technology and curiosity meet in our enrichment programmes.
Every Friday afternoon learners choose any book from our 4 000-title library and read in cosy bean-bag corners with their grade buddies.
From Scratch animations in Grade 4 to micro:bit projects in Grade 7, our coding club brings 21st-century skills to every learner who wants to try.
CAPS-aligned formal assessments are balanced with classwork, projects and oral feedback so progress is tracked, not just tested.
