Livingstone Primary School

Livingston Primary school – breaking down learning barriers

 Livingstone Primary School, established in 1982, is a short-term remedial school for learners experiencing barriers to learning.

The school caters for learners who have average to above average intellectual potential, with specific learning disabilities particularly in the areas of reading, spelling and written language.

At Livingston some learners experience difficulties learning mathematics or have non-verbal learning disabilities. In addition, learners with varying degrees of hearing impairment who use spoken language are also placed at the school. The Grade R Developmental Unit caters for pre-school learners identified as being “at risk” for potential learning difficulties.

These barriers to learning require remedial teaching and supportive therapies. The emphasis is on the development of language and reading skills, with the aim to return learners to mainstream. Computers, robotics, music, art and sport are also incorporated into the

school curriculum.

The team at Livingstone Primary includes a professional staff of remedial educators, specialist teachers, speech and language therapists, audiologists, occupational therapists (Sensory Integration trained), a social worker, school counsellor and school psychologist.

Admissions are now open for 2024.
