1/8POLICY: ADMISSION AND TUITION
The Brackenfell Primary School endorses the admission policy of the WCED and the
education act as stated in Law 84 of 1996. The school will make provision for Afrikaans and
English speaking learners. Tuition will therefore take place in Afrikaans and English. A
learner with any other language as vernacular, will have to choose after having written an
aptitude test in Afrikaans and English.
The WCED has approved the following service area:
North: Langeberg Ridge; Uitsig; Langeberg Heights
South: Brackenfell station and railway line
East: Okovango Road
West: R300 and surrounds
Admission to the Brackenfell Primary School can only be obtained if the learner has applied
for admission on the prescribed application form and the parents make themselves available
for an interview with the admission committee. The headmaster can enrol a learner after
having ascertained the following:
* That a certified copy of the birth certificate has been provided. Learners must be 6a
old to be enrolled into Gr R and 7a old in Gr 1.
* That a certified copy of the clinic card was handed in.
* The Brackenfell P/S is physically the nearest suitable school (lease or ownership).
* The school has the space, apparatus and desk available to accommodate the learner.
* The number of learners in the class will not exceed 36.
* Learners from outide the feeder area can be admitted if historical connections exist
and/or if the learner’s parent is a teacher at this school.
* Learners with special learning needs (Multigrade Class) can be admitted if there are
vacancies. Only 14 learners are allowed in that group.
* The age of learners who are admitted will not differ by more than two years from the
average age of the grade group.
* With the exception of Gr R and 1, learners must furnish a transfer form and an
official academic report of their previous school.
* The parents of new enrolments can be requested to make the first payment upon
admission.
Learners are assigned to a group by the school principal. Therefore no parent has the right to
request where and with whom the child must be placed. The school reserves the right to
subject the learner to a language aptitude test.
General : The school is an established primary school that meets the
required teacher:pupil ratio as determined by the WCED.
Bible Education : A high premium is placed on Bible education. No dogma
is expounded, however, and the religious norms of the
parent body is deferred.
2/8Language medium : The school is a declared parallel medium school.
(Afrikaans/English).
Academics : The syllabi of the WCED are used as basic guidelines
and are regarded as the minimum educational content that a
learner should be exposed to.
Differentiated tuition remains an essential facet of tuition and teaching is adapted accordingly
to provide for the wants of individual learners. The latter resulted in specialized teaching for
those learners with learning barriers as well as enrichment for advanced pupils.
Pass requirements : The directives of the WCED are adhered to.
Standard : Standard of tuition
- very high standards are maintained.

prescribed by the WCED and opportunities are
created for learners to be more advanced

The code of conduct was compiled according to Art. 21 (d) of the South African Schools Act
no. 84 of 1996.
AIM, FUNCTION AND EDUCATIONAL APPROACH
The code of conduct was compiled to effectuate the mission and vision of the school .... to
afford opportunities to learners to develop maximally in order to be in good standing in the
community and fulfil their roles.
The code of conduct assists in the creation of a stabile, functional and productive learning
environment where pupils will have equal opportunities to receive and experience
uninterrupted tuition of the highest standard.
Although every learner will be approached and treated as an individual, the learner must be
allowed to receive tuition in an orderly and disciplined milieu, without any negative influences.
3/8The objectives of the code of conduct therefore aim to ....
Provide good discipline according to clearly defined rules that will always be fair and
be implemented consistently and irrespective of persons.
Prevent that learners develop negative characteristics.
Ensure that the educational norms and standards upheld at home and in the community
will be confirmed and elaborated at school.

school community.
