Two numbers circulate, and one is wrong
Some business directories list this school on 021 558 7110. The school’s own website gives 021 558 2410. Use the school’s number.
There is a likely explanation worth knowing, because it causes repeated confusion in this suburb. Bosmansdam Primary and Bosmansdam High School are separate schools with separate offices. A number picked up from a directory may belong to the other one.
Grade R and Grade 1 admissions
Primary admissions in the Western Cape run through the WCED online application system, not through the school alone, and the window opens more than a year before the child starts.
- Grade 1 is for children turning seven in the year they start, or turning six by 30 June of that year. Grade R has its own age rule and is applied for separately.
- Apply to several schools, not one. Living nearby helps but does not guarantee a place, and parents who apply to a single school are the ones who end up unplaced.
- Have the documents ready: the child’s birth certificate, immunisation card, proof of address, and the previous report if transferring.
- Phone 021 558 2410 to confirm what the school needs and whether Grade R is offered on site in the year you are asking about.
Fees, exemptions and aftercare
Where a public school charges fees, a parent who cannot afford them may apply to the school governing body for full or partial exemption. It is assessed against household income, and it is a right rather than a favour.
A school may not refuse admission, withhold a report, or exclude a child from activities over unpaid fees. If that happens, take it to the district office.
Aftercare at primary schools is often run by a separate provider on the school grounds rather than by the school itself, with its own fees and its own contact person. Ask the office who runs it before assuming the school handles it.
If the school does not resolve it
| Route | Contact |

| WCED call centre | 0861 92 33 22 |
| Safe Schools line, free and confidential | 0800 45 46 47 |
| Childline South Africa | 116, free, 24 hours |
| Emergency in progress | 10111, or 112 from a cellphone |
Work up in order: the class teacher, then the principal, then the school governing body, then the district office. Put anything serious in writing and keep a copy, because the first question at every level above the school is what the school said.
