Curro Serengeti Primary School | Glen Marais

Welcome to Curro Serengeti Primary School!

Nestled in the heart of Glen Marais, Kempton Park, Curro Serengeti offers an exceptional primary school experience for learners from Grade R to Grade 7. We are dedicated to providing the renowned Curro education, meticulously designed to give your child a vital head start in reaching their fullest potential and realizing their dreams.

Our Unique Educational Approach

At Curro Serengeti, we believe in an education that truly comes alive. Our commitment to excellence is reflected in our innovative approach to the national CAPS curriculum, which is rooted in:

• Project-Based Learning: Moving beyond traditional textbooks, we empower learners to explore subjects through engaging research, hands-on experiments, and creative assignments. This fosters deeper understanding and real-world application of knowledge.
• Self-Discovery: We encourage students to use their natural curiosity and intellectual abilities to actively explore learning material, making it meaningful and relevant to their own experiences.

This dynamic methodology, combined with regular teaching methods, ensures a comprehensive and stimulating learning journey.

Nurturing Every Child: Our Foundation and Intermediate Phases

Our curriculum is thoughtfully structured to support your child's growth at every stage:

Foundation Phase (Grade R to Grade 3)

This crucial phase is designed to gently prepare Grade R learners for the formal academic journey ahead in Grade 1, building a robust foundation for all future learning:

• Language Development: Cultivating essential skills in reading, spelling, comprehension, speaking, and listening.
• Mathematics Mastery: Developing a strong understanding of numbers, counting, addition, subtraction, and multiplication.
• Life Skills: Fostering physical education, practical real-life experiences, problem-solving abilities, and creativity.

Intermediate Phase (Grade 4 to Grade 7)

As learners progress, they transition to more abstract concepts. Our project-based learning approach becomes even more pivotal here, enabling students to delve into subjects through in-depth research, challenging assignments, and captivating experiments that extend far beyond the pages of a textbook.

Personalized Attention and Enriching Subjects

We pride ourselves on creating an environment where every child feels seen and supported:

• Small Class Sizes: We cap our class sizes at a maximum of 25 learners. This deliberate choice ensures our dedicated teachers have the time and space to provide genuine personal attention, addressing each child's unique needs and strengths. It's how we cultivate a joyful learning experience, making children love coming to school!
• Diverse Language Options: While English is our primary language of instruction, learners have the enriching opportunity to choose Afrikaans and isiZulu as additional language options.
• Future-Focused Learning: Our curriculum includes Religious Studies in the Intermediate Phase and, uniquely, Robotics integrated throughout the entire primary school journey, preparing students for a technologically advanced world.

Seamless Transitions and Family Connections

As a proud member of the Curro school group, learners applying from any other Curro school enjoy preferential admission. Curro Academy Clayville, a nearby school with a primary phase, is an excellent example of a feeder school from which learners can smoothly transition to our family.

Complimentary Academic Support Programmes

We understand that every learner's journey is unique. To ensure all children master core academic skills, we offer four invaluable assistance programmes at no additional cost:

• Internal assessment
• Language enrichment
• Computer skills
• Extra academic lessons

• Team-awareness and collaboration
• Self-confidence and leadership skills

Our carefully curated selection of activities, including engaging options like marimbas and chess, is tailored to pique the interests of learners in our community. Your child is sure to discover a passion!
