Our motto “Inspiring Excellence” demonstrates our ambition for every pupil at Heritage House Primary School. Our aim is to bring the best out of every child, whilst recognising their uniqueness and meeting the individual needs of all pupils.

At Heritage House, the curriculum is adapted to check and build on pupils’ prior learning and support the development of fundamental basic skills for all pupils. This enables teachers to plan targeted interventions to accelerate progress and narrow learning gaps, which may have arisen as a result of the pandemic. We want our curriculum, with its well-sequenced and coherent lessons, to inspire and enrich our pupils’ experiences and provide them with memorable learning opportunities supported by effective resources, educational visits, workshops facilitated by experts, and the exciting use of technology.

CAPS (Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement) is a curriculum framework that was implemented in South Africa in order to align education with the country’s national goals and priorities. It covers all subjects from Grades R to 12, and is designed to ensure that learners are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and values needed to participate fully in society. The curriculum is designed to be inclusive, and it is intended to cater to the diverse needs of learners. It is also based on the principles of active learning, which encourages learners to be actively engaged in their own learning and to take responsibility for their own learning outcomes.
