Applying to Crossroads

Admission process

If you would like to apply for admittance of your child to Crossroads School, please complete the Inquiry Form below and attach the latest assessment reports (i.e. the Psychological, Speech, Occupational Therapy and Scholastic or Remedial assessments), as well as the last school report.

This is a prerequisite for enrolment at Crossroads School. These can be emailed to crossxrd@mweb.co.za or faxed to 011 888 7415.

Once we are in possession of all the documentation, we will ascertain, from the reports, whether Crossroads is the correct placement for your child.

If no testing has been done, please see the section under “Diagnostic and Assessment Unit” to book an assessment.

In the middle of the year we conduct standardised testing on our current pupils, after which we have a clearer idea of how many children will be returning to mainstream education, and therefore how many places we will have available for new enrolments. In the meantime, all suitable applications are placed on a waiting list until we are able to confirm placement. We are able to start offering places by August each year, for admission in the following January.

Parent Visit and Interview:
Both parents will be invited to meet with the Headmistress, Mrs Cockburn, who will discuss the application further and explain how Crossroads School operates. Mrs Cockburn will also give a tour of the school

After you have been offered a place you will meet with the Administrator, Mrs Anne Saunders, who will give you enrolment forms, and go through them with you. Once the forms have been completed and returned to Crossroads, together with a R15000.00 non-refundable enrolment fee, your child’s place is secured.

This is a prerequisite for enrolment at Crossroads School. These can be emailed to crossxrd@mweb.co.za or faxed to 011 888 7415

Pupil Visit:
Towards the end of the year we hold a New Pupil Orientation, to which the parents and their children are invited. After an introductory talk by the Headmistress in the Hall, the pupils disperse to their new classes for a more in-depth talk by their teachers. Pupils and parents are then free to wander around and familiarise themselves with the School. The Second Hand Uniform Shop will be open, and items like caps, T-shirts, badges and phone cards will be on sale in the office.
