Enrolment Trend



The enrolment pattern for Florida Primary School will be very crucial for a new parent like you.

In 2021, exactly 1246 learners were part of Florida Primary School, in 2022 we see 12 learners sadly leaving the school, and in 2023, 32 more learners joining the school.

The above chart would mean that enrolment is sadly declining. More and more families are pulling their kids out of the school.

School Principal

The principal of Florida Primary School is Bonakele Princess Hlongwane, and that was for 2023. So I haven’t checked if there has been some changes but I will update you soonest.

One important indicator to consider when deciding on a new school for your child is the consistency of its principal over a period of at least three years. So, let’s take a look at this school of interest to you.

Here is a short timeline to show who was leading the school over the past 3 years.

Teacher Retention & Ratio

School enrolment is undoubtedly important, but what is even more critical is a school’s ability to retain its teachers for the longest time possible. When teachers remain with a school, they become deeply integrated into the school’s culture and the parent community, leading to a solid learning environment.

By the year 2021, Florida Primary School had 44 teachers but in 2022, 1 new teachers were employed at the school, and in 2023, no change in teachers population at the school.

An increasing number of teachers over three years suggests a positive trend for the school. It could mean that the school is growing, with more students enrolling, and that it’s an attractive place to work, offering good support and job satisfaction. This growth can lead to smaller class sizes, more individualized attention for students, and a vibrant, supportive school environment.

But Florida Primary School is a special case because it has declining enrollment, and at the same time increasing teaching staff. What does this mean to potential parents?

If enrollments are declining while the number of teachers is increasing, the school may be trying to enhance support despite fewer students.

The school’s teacher to learner ration is 1:28 meaning that, One teacher is responsible for 28 learners.

Florida Primary School Pass Rate

Much like Minister Siviwe Gwarube emphasised on the crucial need to enhance literacy and numeracy skills, the principal is dedicated to ensuring that from Grade 4 students can read for meaning. This foundational skill is essential as it provides every learner with a fair chance to excel all the way up to Grade 12 and beyond.
