The South African Schools Act, 1996 and this policy apply equally to learners who are not citizens of the Republic of South Africa and whose parents are in possession of a permit for temporary or permanent residence issued by the Department of Home Affairs.

A learner who entered the country on a study permit must present the study permit on admission to the school. Persons classified as illegal aliens must, when they apply for admission for their children or for themselves, show evidence that they have applied to the Department of Home Affairs to legalize their stay in the country in terms of the Aliens Control Act, 1991 (No 96 of 1991).

Learners admitted to the school in Grade R must be five years old or turning six before 30 June of the year of admission. Learners admitted to the school in Grade 1 must be six years old or turning six before 30 June of the year of admission.

Learners admitted to the school at an age above the age norm for a grade, will write a battery of school entry tests to determine their grade level. As far as possible, they will be placed in a track facility, or with his or her peer group, unless it is not in the educational interest of the learner. In the latter case the learner will be placed in a suitable lower grade, and an educational intervention will be worked out for the learner to enable him or her to catch up with the peer group as soon as possible.

Children with special needs may also be accommodated, provided it is within the school’s ability to cater appropriately for the learner’s educational and other needs (e.g. any physical impairment).
