How to apply for a place at Isiqalo Primary School, Grade R to Grade 8.

Admission steps

  1. 1

    Enquiry

    Phone, WhatsApp or use the enquiry form. Collect or download the application pack and fee schedule, and tour the school.

  2. 2

    Application

    Complete the application form and return it with the documents listed below.

  3. 3

    Readiness meeting

    A friendly meeting or short activity with you and your child. It helps us place your child in the right grade and plan support. It is not a pass-or-fail test.

  4. 4

    Decision

    You receive a written decision from the Principal: an offer of a place, a waiting-list position, or a reasoned decline.

  5. 5

    Acceptance

    Accept by signing the enrolment agreement and paying the R750 registration fee by the date on the offer letter.

  6. 6

    Admission

    Your child is entered in the admission register, given a class, and welcomed with an orientation.

Documents we ask for

  • A certified copy of your child's birth certificate (or proof that you applied to Home Affairs).
  • Certified copies of the parents' or guardians' identity documents, and proof of address.
  • Your child's clinic card or immunisation record (Road to Health booklet), and any relevant medical information.
  • For Grade 1 to 8: the latest school report and, where applicable, a transfer letter from the previous school.
  • Any assessment reports or learning-support recommendations.
  • Emergency contact details and the names of the people allowed to collect your child.
No child is turned away only because of missing papers. If a document is not yet available, we will still consider the application and normally allow 90 days to provide it. We will help you find out how to get it.

Who may apply

  • Grade R: your child turns five on or before 30 June of the year of admission.
  • Grade 1: your child turns six on or before 30 June of the year of admission.
  • Grades 2 to 8: placement follows your child's last completed grade.
  • Children with disabilities or learning barriers are welcome to apply. If we cannot meet a need, the Principal will explain honestly and help you find other options.

How places are offered

When there are more applicants than places, we offer places in this order: learners already at the school moving up a grade; brothers and sisters of current learners; children of staff; children living closest to the school; then everyone else in the order complete applications were received. Race, religion, language, disability or a family's ability to pay are never used to choose between applicants.
