How a child gets a place
You cannot apply to a special school the way you would to a neighbourhood school. Placement is decided by a district based support team on the basis of an assessment of the learner’s needs.
- It starts with a referral, usually from the current school, a clinic, a psychologist or a therapist, with written assessment reports attached.
- The district decides, not the school alone, so a stalled placement is a matter for the district office.
- Transport and hostel arrangements are decided separately from the placement itself. In a province as large as Limpopo, distance is often the deciding practical issue, so raise it explicitly.
- Support may not be withheld while assessment is under way. A learner is entitled to support before a diagnosis is finalised.
- Keep copies of every report you submit. Files move between school, district and outside professionals, and a missing report is the usual reason nothing happens.

No first hand source publishes a direct school number, so none is printed here.
Seshego is part of Polokwane
Worth knowing for navigation and for records. Seshego is a township north west of Polokwane city centre, within the same municipality. Listings variously give the school’s address as Seshego, as Polokwane, or as Pietersburg, the city’s former name.
Give the zone number along with Seshego when asking a district office, since Seshego is laid out in numbered zones rather than named streets in much of the township.
