Hikane Primary School delivers the full South African CAPS (Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement) from Grade R through Grade 7. Our academic programme is designed to develop literate, numerate, and culturally aware young citizens ready for the challenges of secondary education.
The Foundation Phase is where learning begins. Our youngest learners develop essential literacy and numeracy skills through play-based methodologies, structured activities, and a nurturing classroom environment that makes learning feel like an adventure.
Learner-to-Educator Ratio: Approximately 35:1, ensuring each child receives personalised attention in their formative years.
In the Intermediate Phase, learners build upon their foundation and begin to explore more complex subject areas. The curriculum broadens to include dedicated science, social science, and technology subjects, developing analytical thinking and research skills.
Grade 7 marks the culmination of the primary school journey. Learners consolidate their knowledge and prepare for the transition to secondary school. The academic rigour intensifies, with a strong emphasis on independent learning, project-based assessment, and critical thinking.
We use CASS (Continuous Assessment) as the primary mode of evaluation, including tests, projects, assignments, presentations, and practical activities throughout each term to build a comprehensive picture of each learner's progress.
Detailed report cards are issued at the end of each school term, providing parents with clear information about their child's academic performance, attendance record, behaviour, and areas for improvement.
Regular parent-teacher meetings are held each term to discuss learner progress, share strategies for home support, and foster a collaborative partnership between the school and family in each child's education.
At Hikane Primary, no child is left behind. We provide a range of academic support interventions to ensure that every learner reaches their potential:
