The heart of Port Alfred

At Port Alfred School we cater for pre-school children all the way through to matric. The sporty kids and the academic kids. The public speakers and the quiet organisers.

We believe in growing the whole student and strive to provide a happy and healthy environment that nurtures and benefits everyone.

We are a family school at the sea and are fortunate to have a team of dedicated parents, past pupils, teachers and community leaders at our side.

Behind every good student is a good school. And behind every good school, is a great community.

A word from our Principal

Nigel Adams

To see the children back at school after an extended winter break has been a joy! It is heart-warming to hear voices and laughter ring through the passages.
