Gloria Botha School Primary School is located in Victoria Park. All persons with intellectual disabilities are unique. They experience the same emotions as others. As with all children, given the correct teaching, love and support, intellectually disabled children can develop into self sufficient individuals with various degrees of supervision. The staff at Gloria Botha School wants to develop each child’s potential to the best of our ability and turn them into happy productive citizens of our country.

The school was founded by a few enterprising parents in 1990 in the Helderberg Basin. The school in the Strand started as a satellite school of the Cheré Botha Centre in Bellville. It was founded by Mrs Gloria Botha whose daughter, Cheré was born with Down syndrome. Even though Cheré died at an early age, the centre developed as the mother school of a few other schools in the Boland and other areas. After the school became supported by the Government, the name changed to Gloria Botha School.
