The admission age of a learner to a public school to grade 1 is age five turning six by 30 June in the year of admission. For admission to grade R it is four turning five by 30 June in the year of admission. Parents may however choose to send their children to grade R and grade 1 at a slightly older age, namely 5 turning 6 in the year of admission to grade R or 6 turning 7 in the year of admission to grade 1.
