Located in Wilgeheuwel, Roodepoort, Curro Wilgeheuwel Primary School offers a comprehensive educational journey for learners from Grade R to Grade 7. We provide a balanced, high-quality education in English, ensuring that academics, sports, and culture are given equal importance. With controlled class sizes and a focus on personal attention, we create a nurturing environment where your child can thrive.

Bringing Learning to Life: Project-Based Learning

We believe that education is about more than just memorizing facts. While we adhere to the national CAPS curriculum, our teaching methodology is centred on project-based learning and self-discovery. We encourage learners to move beyond the textbook, utilizing research, experiments, and assignments to explore concepts. This approach makes learning "real," helping students understand how their knowledge applies to the world around them.

Structured Stages of Development

The Foundation Phase (Grade R to Grade 3):
We focus on affirming the basic foundations on which all further learning is built. Key areas include:

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

The Intermediate Phase (Grade 4 to Grade 7):
As academic work becomes more abstract, we utilize project-based learning to help learners investigate concepts deeply, fostering independent thought and academic maturity.

Language and Academic Support

Teaching takes place in English, with Afrikaans and isiZulu offered as additional language options. We are committed to your child's success, which is why we offer extra lessons in Mathematics, isiZulu, and Afrikaans at no additional cost.

Core Values for Future Leaders

We believe that a good education forms the basis for responsible citizenship and leadership. Our school ethos is built on four value pillars that allow learners to grow into the best versions of themselves:

• Child-friendliness: Creating a welcoming, safe space.
• Positive Discipline: Guiding behaviour with constructive methods.
• Christian Values: Instilling strong ethics and morals.
• Creative Thinking: Encouraging innovative problem-solving.

Class Sizes and Personal Attention

To ensure every child feels seen and supported, we control the number of learners per class to a maximum of 35. This creates an environment where teachers have the time and space to provide personal attention exactly where it is needed, fostering a genuine love for learning.
