Welcome to Our School's web page. We hope you find what you are looking for.

Welridge Academy began in 1987 as a pre-primary school only. The school has had various names throughout the years and was named Welridge Academy in January 2008, with the view of starting a foundation phase. Since then we have grown the school from a pre-school to a primary school as well as a pre-primary school.

Our school is registered with the Department of Education. Our registration details can be found on the Registration Page.

Currently our primary schoool is divided into two phases: our foundation phase where we cater for Grade R to Grade 3 and our intermediate phase where we cater for Grade 4 and 5.

In 2013 we will introduce our Grade 6 class and in 2014 our Grade 7 class.

Our pre-school learners also follow a set curriculum which begins with our baby class. We have set routines to be followed by all, and these have yielded excellent results.

UNITY

I dreamed I stood in a studio

And watched two sculptures there

The clay they used was a child’s mind

They fashioned it with care

One was a teacher;

The tools she used were books, music and art

One was a parent

With a guiding hand and a gentle, loving heart

Day after day the teacher toiled;

With a touch that was strong and sure

While the parent laboured by her side

With a heart that was clear and pure

And when at last the task was done

They stood proud at what they had wrought

For things they had moulded into the child

Could neither be sold nor bought

And each agreed they would have failed

If they had worked alone;

For behind the parent stood the school

And behind the teacher, the home
