Situated on the side of the hill between Lion’s Head and Signal Hill, Tamboerskloof Primary School continues to flourish, as it has done for the past 107 years.
Established in a house in 1903 with forty children and one teacher, the school now accommodates 440 children and has a staffing complement of over 30.
Affectionately known to the pupils as “Tambi”, this school has a fine tradition as a caring, family-style school. We call it “The Family School in the City”.
We try to create a homely, disciplined environment and a sound, enjoyable, all round education. A respect for sound moral values is insisted upon, as reflected in the words of our school song, namely truthfulness, loyalty, honour and sincerity.
