Our team is led by a dedicated Principal and three dynamic Heads of Department, supported by a team of passionate and creative teachers. The school includes Grades 1\u20137, with three classes per grade\u2014two Afrikaans and one English.&nbsp;<br>\n          <br>We all share a common goal and take responsibility for every individual learner. We strive to provide each learner with the intellectual and emotional support they need to reach their full potential. While we aim for high levels of academic achievement, we also focus on developing skills, values, and resilience, equipping learners to face high school and life in general.&nbsp;<br>\n          <br>The Foundation Phase lays the groundwork for learning in a fun and integrated way, with a constant emphasis on skill development to ensure understanding and application of concepts. Learners are continually encouraged to respect their teachers and peers. We implement a holistic approach that develops the child as a whole person.&nbsp;<br>\n          <br>In the Intermediate Phase, learners are exposed to new developmental opportunities that build on what they learned in the Foundation Phase, expanding their knowledge. Further exposure to new thinking skills and memorization techniques is important. We encourage learners to be curious about many aspects of life and help them find answers independently. In this way, we aim to prepare our young learners for their high school journey.\n        <\/p>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n    \n    \n    \n  \n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About Our School Aliwal-North Primary School is a place where people are happy, and learners are encouraged to explore and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"full-width-container","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"disabled","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-605","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/anps.co.za\/New_eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/605","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/anps.co.za\/New_eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/anps.co.za\/New_eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anps.co.za\/New_eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anps.co.za\/New_eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=605"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/anps.co.za\/New_eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/605\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/anps.co.za\/New_eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=605"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
