Curro Bankenveld | Primary School | Reyno Ridge, Emalahleni

Welcome to Curro Bankenveld Primary School

Curro Bankenveld is a primary school situated in Reyno Ridge, Emalahleni (Bankenveld), offering the excellent Curro education to learners from Grade R to Grade 7. Our approach provides an all-round education that carefully balances strong academics with sports and cultural activities, helping learners grow into confident, well-rounded individuals.

Teaching takes place in English and Afrikaans, and class sizes are limited to ensure that every learner receives personal attention. Learners also benefit from Robotics as part of the curriculum, preparing them for a future shaped by technology. For added convenience, we offer aftercare and a school transport service, and we close earlier on Fridays to allow families to enjoy quality weekend time together.

Our Teaching Philosophy

As part of the Curro school group, we are committed to delivering a high-quality education through the national CAPS curriculum. Our teaching approach is based on project-based learning and self-discovery, encouraging learners to explore concepts beyond the textbook through research, experiments, and practical assignments.

This approach helps learners make meaningful connections between ideas and apply their knowledge in ways that feel relevant and real, while still being supported by regular teaching, assessments, and feedback.

Foundation Phase: Strong Beginnings

Our foundation phase focuses on preparing Grade R learners for the formal learning that begins in Grade 1. During this stage, learners develop the essential building blocks for future academic success.

• Language: Reading, spelling, understanding, speaking, and listening
• Mathematics: Counting, number concepts, addition, subtraction, and multiplication
• Life Skills: Physical education, real-life experiences, problem-solving, and creativity

Intermediate Phase: Developing Independent Thinkers

In the intermediate phase, learning becomes more abstract and analytical. Learners are introduced to project-based learning, where they complete research tasks, assignments, and experiments that deepen their understanding beyond the textbook.

With a maximum of 25 learners per class, teachers have the time and space to provide individual support exactly where it is needed. This creates a positive learning environment where learners feel supported, engaged, and excited to come to school.

Progression within the Curro School Group

As part of the Curro school group, learners enjoy preference when applying to other schools within the group. Our primary school learners also progress automatically to our on-campus high school, ensuring a smooth and familiar transition.
