We follow the national CAPS curriculum end-to-end. Around it we run six signature programmes — each one chosen because it makes a real difference for a child growing up in a small village school, and each one runnable inside our actual budget.
None of these are optional extras stacked onto a busy timetable. They are stitched into the school week, taught by our own staff, and supported by partners we trust.
A weekly bilingual drama club where learners write, rehearse and perform short plays — first in Setswana, then in English. The aim is confidence on a stage and confidence in a second language.
A small-but-serious club using donated tablets and the DBE Coding & Robotics curriculum, plus a set of low-cost micro:bit kits funded through a community partnership with the Solidarity Fund.
Drawing, painting, beadwork and the long, careful work of forming letters by hand. The art room sits in the old admin annex; it gets the best afternoon light on campus.
Every Friday afternoon Grades 5 to 7 work in mixed-age teams on a six-week project that knits together Natural Science, Maths, English and an arts brief — usually with materials we already have.
A weekly Foundation Phase ritual borrowed from the P4C tradition: thirty minutes, sitting in a circle, asking one big question and listening to each other. It costs us nothing, and it changes how children speak in every other lesson.
A 200 m² fenced garden behind the food hall, run by Grade 4 learners on a roster, growing morogo, spinach, tomatoes and traditional crops like dinawa cowpeas. Most of the harvest goes straight into the NSNP kitchen.
We don't pretend to be what we're not. We are a small public school. The interesting question is what a small public school can do extraordinarily well.

A typical Tuesday — give or take an assembly, a club, or the inevitable parent who arrives at four o'clock with a homework question.
