Pearson High School Prospectus

Port Alfred School is a family school. We cater for children from nursery school to matric on one beautiful campus with one Principal and one Governing Body.

We celebrate our origin at a special Founders Day Assembly in August each year. On this particular day, everyone takes the time to reflect on just how far our town’s oldest school has come since those early days of 1883. This was the year the school was officially converted into a Government School and was housed in an Anglican church building on Park Road.

The school then had an enrolment of about fifty boys and girls.

Over the years, the school has grown to nearly 1000 children from nursery school to matric.

Rooted in a proud past, the Port Alfred School staff, governing body, alumni and more significant community work together to move with the times, catering for the needs of our children on a multitude of levels.
