3201 PIETERMARITZBURG, ROBERTS ROAD
Clarendon Primary School officially opened its doors on 29 January 1962. Initial pupil enrollment was 46 and the staff ratio was 2. Mrs. RM Lodge was appointed Acting Principal. Mr. and Mrs. Claude Mitchell were the founder parents of Clarendon Primary School. Due to the numerous World War II veterans that settled in the suburb of Clarendon, Mrs. Jean Mitchell, a mother of three, was inspired to approach the Municipal Body and the Department of Education requesting that a school be built on a vacant plot of ground in the suburb of Clarendon for the fast growing community. The Education Department replied, "You produce fifty pupils and we will provide the building." Little did Jean and Claude realize what they had committed themselves to.
