Academics

At Huttenpark Primary School, we follow the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS). The languages of teaching and learning are English and Afrikaans. Zulu is incorporated as the 3rd additional language.

Our Foundation Phase comprises of Grade 1, 2 and 3. We aim to encourage the development of the whole child in a caring, safe, stimulating and educational environment, using a variety of teaching methods to develop enquiring minds in our learners.

Our dedicated educators are assisted by teacher assistants and teachers-in-training who ensure that each child receives a quality, all- rounded education, creating opportunities for active participation in all spheres of school life.

In addition to the wide range of subjects offered at Huttenpark Primary School, the learners also receive Physical Education, Creative Arts and Computer lessons that are all taught by specialists in these fields.

Our learners are also encouraged to read, they visit our school Library and Media Centre weekly, where they get to choose an age appropriate book to read for the week. Some of our foundation phase learners read more than 1250 books each year.

The Intermediate and Senior Phase comprises of Grade 4, 5, 6 and 7. Well-trained, passionate and highly dedicated staff support the curriculum.

Learners experience a more formalised education environment as they move into this phase. This more formal approach assists in creating a healthy work ethic in our learners. This is also the first step towards preparing our learners for high school and tertiary educational institutions. 

In addition to the wide range of subjects offered at Huttenpark Primary School, the learners also receive Physical Education, Creative Arts and Computer lessons that are all taught by specialists in these fields.

We also offer Robotics, however this does not form part of our prescribed curriculum. Learners interested in Robotics, are encouraged to join our Robotics Club.
