Grade R, 1 And 8 Admissions Open Tomorrow In Western Cape

Parents in the Western Cape are urged to apply for Grade R, 1, and 8 admissions for 2026 as the application window opens tomorrow, reports Cape town Etc .

The window for on-time applications opens on Tuesday, 11 March 2025, and will remain open until 15 April 2025.

The announcement, made by WCED MEC David Maynier, highlights the importance of timely applications to ensure that learners secure their desired placements in schools across the province.

We are encouraging all parents to apply for a space for their child as soon as the window opens. Ensuring your child has a place in school is paramount for their future, Maynier emphasised.

To make the process smoother for parents, applications are required to be submitted online. This means that parents will need to scan and upload the necessary documents to the admissions system, which has been thoughtfully designed to be zero-rated for data, ensuring that internet costs do not become a barrier for low-income families.
