Founded in 1918, Craighall Primary has maintained its reputation for excellence by continually striving to meet the needs of pupils and adapting successfully to the changing needs of South Africa. The School’s education system aims to ensure that each pupil is able to achieve his or her maximum ability and is equipped for lifelong learning.
