Grades

Despatch Preparatory is a full-service Primary School.

Grade R focuses learning through play based education where our little ones get the opportunity to develop their fine and gross motor skills on a daily basis. Grade R extra-mural activities occur during school hours unlike the rest of the school grades.

The Grade R learners also do not have a compulsory school uniform. There are some clothing items which can be purchased voluntarily by parents if they choose to do so. In Grade R we follow the CAPS curriculum as set out by the Department of Education.

In Grade 1-7 learning is more formal but we ensure we integrate the fun element right throughout the grades. Learners are also assisted on their own level and developed according to this.
