With over 160 years of rich tradition and a proven reputation for educational leadership, Grey Boys’ Primary School (affectionately known as Grey Junior) will always be a school that aims to offer every possible opportunity for boys to develop to their full potential.
Our motto, Tria Juncta in Uno (Three Joined in One), underpins our emphasis on the balanced development of body, mind and spirit, and is reflected in our broad and exciting programme.
As a leading school for boys in the Eastern Cape, it remains our sincere intention that Grey Junior boys will grow up to become men who are recognised by their commitment to excellence, admired for their courageous spirits and respected for their character, ready to play their part in an ever-changing world.
Standing firm on our rich traditions and our proven reputation for educational excellence, we have kept our eyes fixed on the changing horizon and, in order to remain relevant, we have spared no effort nor expense in ensuring that our boys are future-ready, tech-savvy, empowered to take responsibility for their own learning and equipped with 21st century skills.
As you browse this website or scroll through our Facebook page, we hope that our commitment to inspiring every kind of mind, empowering every kind of educator, and every kind of student, to create and define their own kind of success, will be obvious.
As a fee-levying state school, Grey Junior covers and then extends the CAPS curriculum, tailor-making the academic programme to ensure high levels of engagement, challenge, enrichment, support, and the promotion of relevant 21st century skills. These skills include collaboration, communication, creativity, critical thinking, innovation, leadership, entrepreneurship, adaptability and resilience.
Grey Junior’s sporting programme forms the backbone of our commitment to holistic development. With world-class facilities and a wide array of sports, boys cultivate discipline, teamwork, and sportsmanship while competing at the highest levels. Our ethos celebrates both participation and excellence, nurturing a lifelong love for physical activity and health.
The spirit of Grey Junior is rooted in a deep respect for tradition, a vibrant cultural programme, and a commitment to values that shape character. From inspiring music ensembles to cherished traditions, our ethos nurtures character, service, and camaraderie, ensuring boys grow into confident, principled individuals ready to contribute meaningfully to the world.
