At LRS, our holistic approach to education encourages our learners to realise their fullest potential – both in and outside the classroom.  We cater for Grade R to Grade 7, accommodating just three classes per grade. Our smaller student body ensures each child is made to feel part of our LRS family.

​

We foster close collaboration between the school and our parents – and our community – to create an environment that is conducive to a positive learning experience. Our children leave us with not just the academic proficiency they need to succeed in higher grades, but also life skills and memories that will last a lifetime.

 

Academics

Our language of learning and teaching is English. We also offer Afrikaans (First Additional Language) and are awaiting GDE directive regarding the introduction of a Second Additional Language in due course.

​

LRS follows the National Curriculum Statement, which has a cross-curriculum approach and an outcomes–based assessment procedure.   From Grade 4 these are supplemented by Internal Exams, written in Term 2 and Term 4.  We encourage academic excellence, and recognise scholastic achievement twice a year at our biannual prize-giving.

 

Learner Support

Primary school education is intended to lay the foundation for future learning. We understand that this can be a challenging time for many learners academically and emotionally.  Bumps in the road are not uncommon, but can often be overcome through communication, collaboration, and education-based therapy.

​

Our Social Worker, Occupational Therapist, Speech Therapist and Language Enrichment Specialist are available on-site and during school hours for when the need arises.

 

Physical Education

Physical Education (or PE) is compulsory for all learners. These twice-weekly sessions offer a welcome break from the classroom and are designed to foster a healthy attitude towards exercise and encourage a positive body image.
