Welcome to our Primary School
TKLA Primary School lays strong academic foundations from Grade 1, giving every learner the knowledge, skills and confidence they need to thrive. Our CAPS-aligned curriculum is taught by dedicated, qualified educators who know each child individually, shaping lessons that bring out the best in every learner.
From the first day of Grade 1 to the final days of Grade 6, our goal is whole-child development: academic excellence, creative expression, physical activity and a genuine love of learning. Every learner leaves our Primary School fully prepared for High School and all that lies ahead.

Our curriculum follows the national CAPS framework, delivered with rigour and care, giving every learner a solid, recognised qualification at every grade.
Qualified, passionate teachers who know every child by name, adapting their approach to meet each learner where they are and stretching them further.
We create space for questioning, reasoning, and problem-solving, so our learners develop the thinking habits that serve them for life, not just for tests.
