RYNFIELD PRIMARY IS A QUINTILE 5 SCHOOL : 

The South African Government implements a funding model which lists 5 categories of Schools, called Quintiles. These Quintiles determine how much government funding each School receives.

The Schools in the lower Quintiles (1 to 3) are declared no-fee Schools, and receive majority of Government funding. The Schools in the upper Quintiles (4 to 5) receive less Government funding. These
funds cannot cover School expenses. Rynfield Primary is graded as a Quintile 5 School and receive only R293.30 per annum per learner. Therefore, Rynfield Primary is a fee paying School in terms of the South African Schools Act (SASA 84 of 1996).

RYNFIELD PRIMARY IS A FEE PAYING SCHOOL : 

The 2024 School fees are determined in accordance with Section 39 of the South African Schools Act, 1996. In terms of Section 39 of the South African Schools Act, parents are liable to pay these fees. In terms of Section 40 of the South African Schools Act, we may enforce this payment by taking legal action, including blacklisting on the National Credit Bureau.

School fees are recognized as a statutory obligation where both biological, adoptive or legal guardian parents are responsible for the payment of school fees, regardless of their marital status.

The payment of School fees at Rynfield Primary is, therefore, compulsory and are payable in advance. School fees are reviewed annually by the School Governing Body in consultation with the parent body at the Annual General Meeting.
