Denneoord Primary School Pre-School is located in George. The school was founded on 1 January 1958 and was then known as “Die Eiland Voorbereidingskool”. Miss. Stella Louwrens was appointed as the first headmistress in January 1985, until December 1959. Initially the Dutch Reformed church’s hall served as the school building. Today the Denneoord Superette is located where the school originally stood.

From a humble beginning of only 56 grade 1 and 2 Afrikaans speaking learners with 2 teachers, Denneoord steadily grew. On 29 November 1963 Mr. J.C. Heunis inaugurated the current school building. Miss. Schults followed on Mrs. Louwrens as headmistress. Denneoord’s third principal, Mr. H.L. Oosthuizen was appointed on 1 April 1967 until July 1981. He was succeeded by Mr. A. Fourie who served as headmaster between January 1982 – June 1992.

During October 1982 the school’s name was changed to “Voorbereidingskool Denneoord.” In January 1984 the school was declared a primary school when a grade 4 class was added. In 1987 Denneoord became a fully fledged primary school with a total of ± 200 learners and 10 teachers. Mr. H. van der Watt was acting principal during July 1992 - December 1993. On 1 January 1994 Mr. M.C. Gericke was appointed as headmaster. He retired in 2014, after 21 years.

In 2004 Denneoord enrolled the first English learners and by 2010 was proudly hosting 2 classes per grade, a fully parallel school. Mr. H. du Plessis is currently the headmaster.
