Academic Excellence & Holistic Development

At Sweet Valley Primary School we follow the Curriculum and Assessment Policy of the National Department of Education. We strive to achieve academic excellence and prepare our children for the high school of their choice. The personal development of every child is important as we nurture their emotional intelligence in a safe environment. A comprehensive Life Orientation programme is offered in every grade to develop and encourage confident, responsible choices from our children.

We employ specialist teachers for Library, Art, Integrated Technologies, isiXhosa, Drama and Music. This ensures that a varied, interesting programme is on offer at Sweet Valley Primary. Where individual or small groups require academic or emotional intervention and support, our class teachers are supported by staff from our Schools Based Support Team.

We promote independent thinking and problem-solving strategies as we prepare our children for lifelong learning. The curiosity and excitement for learning is continually being stimulated by guest speakers, outings and the usage of digital resources in every classroom. The holistic development of every child is enriched by our outreach programmes and the various charities supported in each grade.

At Sweet Valley, we make every effort to recognise, acknowledge and develop the strengths, talents and potential of every child. We encourage our children to take pride in what they do and to strive to do their best as they prepare for the future.
