COMMUNITY FARM SCHOOL (BARRYDALE, WESTERN CAPE)

offers education to children from Grades 1 - 6, with four classrooms, two teachers (one of whom is the principal)
and an administrative clerk. The school receives a “Norms and Standards” allocation from the government which
subsidises school fees, text books and general expenses.
