NEW SIBLING APPLICATIONS:
NB: If you intend to apply for Grade 2-7 new applicant siblings, please apply for the youngest applicant at the current school of the 'oldest sibling' first, if you want both learners at the same school. Remember: the next-year-grades accommodate current registered learners for the following academic year, then learners who repeat the grade are accommodated. Only then, if there is space available, the waiting list is consulted and the next learner who has met the placement criteria, is then placed in the grade. These spaces are usually for learners who transfer from outside of the province and who do not have a school in Gauteng. Glenanda Primary School is currently at capacity in all grades. A Re-registration process takes place in June, 2024 to see how many learners will be leaving the school at the end of this year. A waiting list is in place for all new applications and this list is where we source new placements from when space is available in the grade.
