Table View Primary School or Table View Primary (Afrikaans: Laerskool Table View) is a parallel medium school located in Table View, a west coast suburb of Cape Town in the Western Cape province of South Africa. The school has about 1,400 learners and 50 educators.[1] The school follows a Christian-based ethos while also teaching acceptance and respect for different cultural and religious beliefs.[2] There is a strong emphasis on sports,[3] culture and academics.

Sports

The different summer sport activities offered to learners are cricket, swimming, tennis and athletics. Winter sports consist of rugby, hockey and netball. Learners are grouped into three different teams for each sport: the A team, B team, and C team. Which team a learner is placed in depends on their skill and overall team play abilities.

The school houses Rietvlei, Blouberg and Atlanta compete in multifarious competitions during inter-house athletics held in the month of November. The top athletes of the day then go through to District North Athletics Championships where they are selected for the Western Province Championships.

Culture

Classes for music, art and drama are offered. Art activities can be further developed after school if learners join the Art Club. There are two choirs, a Junior Choir and a Senior Choir.

Curriculum

Table View Primary's curriculum is laid down by the Western Cape Education Department. All the teachers from grade 1 to 7 are trained for Curriculum Assessment Policy Statements (CAPS).
