ENROLMENT APPLICATION ENQUIRY
At St Martin’s, children aged 2/3 years-of-age 4/5 years-of-age to 5/6 years-of-age are invited to enjoy an age-appropriate, fun-filled, challenging yet extending education in a safe and secure environment. Grade 000 is our standard point of entry and the end of Grade R the standard exit point.
The classes are organised into Grade 000, Grade 00 and Grade R; the School customarily provides two grades of each age group.
The School follows the admission ages as laid down by the South African School’s Act and is a recognised and documented provider of pre-primary education to the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Education.
As such, children in Grade 000 may be two turning three before the end of June or three turning four before the end of December. In Grade 00, they may be three turning four before the end of June or four turning five before the end of December. In Grade R, they may be four turning five before the end of June or five turning six before the end of December.
The general process for application is:
- Parent or guardian contacts the school via website – Enquire Now (enrolment enquiry form) or by phone or email
- The school will contact you to schedule a private tour, where you will been shown around our environment, you can have a chance to meet the teachers and the principal and have all your questions answered.
- After the tour you will receive our application pack and parent contract.
- Once we have received all your documentation as well as proof of the enrolment fee, a credit check will be carried out via TPN.
- You will receive written communication on the acceptance of your application, including your child’s class, start date and what to pack on the first day.
Please note:
Junior Primary Schools in the Durban North area also follow the Admissions Criteria as laid down by the Department of National Education. This states that children living in the area are accepted ahead of those from out of the area. Attendance at St Martin’s Pre-Primary School does not, therefore, automatically ensure placement at all local schools.
