Excelsior Bellville Primary School is located in Bellville. The name Excelsior, meaning “Ever Higher”, was chosen by Petrusa Grobbelaar who suggested the name as part of a competition. The school song was composed by Mr Dirkie de Villiers.

The staff, learners and parent community strive to work as a team so as to nurture and develop all possible potential in the academic, sporting and cultural arenas. To achieve this, we encourage and motivate one another to think creatively and take calculated risks, to be sincere in our interest and concern for others and to take from the past that which will guide us in the future.
