A small, caring school where every child is known.

JENS Primary School welcomes children from Grade R to Grade 2 into a warm and inclusive learning environment. Our small classes provide individual attention, a strong academic foundation and the support each child needs to grow with confidence.

Grade R – Grade 2 · Kokstad

Welcome

A small school with a big heart

We are a registered independent Christian co-educational primary school following the CAPS curriculum. In our Grade R to Grade 2 classes, children learn in calm, unhurried classrooms where questions are welcome, effort is noticed and every child belongs.

We follow the CAPS curriculum, which we treat as the bare minimum expected of our teachers. Our classes go beyond it wherever a child is ready.

Parents are always welcome to walk through the school, meet the teachers and see an ordinary day for themselves.

Why families choose us

Room to be themselves

Art, play, movement and curiosity are part of learning, not extras.

Our classes

Grade R to Grade 2

Grade R

A playful, settled start to school, where routines, listening, sharing and early literacy and numeracy grow through play.

Grade 1

Reading, writing and number sense take shape with plenty of encouragement, repetition and celebration of small wins.

Grade 2

Confidence builds as children read on their own, write their own ideas and work with numbers more independently.

Inclusive learning

Every child learns differently

We understand that children do not all learn in the same way or at the same pace. Our teachers take time to recognise each child’s strengths and provide appropriate classroom support wherever possible. At JENS, children learn together in a caring environment where they can feel safe, included and encouraged.
