Laerskool Laeveld Pre-School is located in Nelspruit. The school opened on 5 January 1982 with Mr. GF Botes, a retired principal as first acting principal. Students from Nelspruit Primary and Bergland Primary are enrolled. Only the Junior Division is started because all the classrooms have not yet been completed.
The first 9 staff members are seconded here from Nelspruit Primary and Bergland Primary. At the beginning of the second term, the first gr. 4 to 7 pupils are admitted and a further nine staff members from the above schools are seconded here. The official name, Laeveld Primary School and motto: Know Him and Live is approved in 1983.
Mr. DA Barnard assumes service as first permanent principal from the third term in 1982. Because all funds for the grounds and sports grounds are frozen by the TOD (Education Department), the then school committee decided to continue the site development itself. In November 1982, the first excavations were made for the construction of a rugby field and athletics track.
The entire sports complex was funded by funds raised from parents. We currently have two rugby fields, a junior rugby field, an athletic track, a turf cricket pitch with 3 cricket nets, a cement pavilion with 30 meters under roof, four netball / tennis courts combined, floodlights and a large reception room with a thatched roof. The current head is Mr. TE Krüger and the school's number of pupils has grown from 553 pupils in 1982 to over 1,000 pupils at present.

The official name Laeveld Primary School and the slogan: Ken Hom and Leef were approved in 1983. Mr. DA Barnard was the first permanent head master from the third term in 1982. Because the Transvaal Education Department (TED) froze all funds for the development of sports grounds the then school committee decided to go ahead with the development of the field in 1982. a Start was made with the rugby field and athletic track. The whole sports complex was financed by parents.
Currently we have two rugby fields, an athletic track, a cricket pitch with three cricket nets, a cement pavilion with 30 meters under cover, 4 netball / tennis courts combined, spotlights and a large grass roofed reception area. We also have a neat ablution facility for the sports field.
The present headmaster is Mr.TE Krüger and the scholarship increased from 553 in 1982 to over 1 000 learners.
Thank you for entrusting your child to us. We really hope that your child will have an enriching year at the Lollies.
The purpose of Grades RR and R
Although the Lollies are part of Laeveld Primary School, we usually function separately. Our excursions and activities are undertaken separately. On certain occasions we will be involved in the school's activities.
Our day program is also different from the rest of the school. Each day there will be a main creative activity and three additional activities for the learner to develop his / her creativity and skills. The main activity is more focused on the specific outcome and skill that must be achieved in the theme. The by-activities are for practicing already learned skills, as well as for enjoyment. During free play, there will also be creative activities available for pure enjoyment.
