Boston is an English school. Not known for sport, but I'm sure they have sport and I think they have a pool too.

Excelsior is English and Afrikaans. they are really good at sport and also have a swimming pool. Both are good schools but I would prefer excelsior.... and besides... you can always pop in to Burger Fair while you wait for the kids at Excelsior. Welcome to Bellville!

Mind confirming area in Bellville? There's Vredelust too, in lower Boston, near Louis Leipoldt Hospital.

Labiance is a good school. Not that good at sport but they offer all the sport (except swimming) don't have a pool. Labiance is an one of that ex "white schools" where parents took out their kids as soon as the POC started joining. The school is now 98% POC (if that is something that may interest you or deter you) except for the teachers which are mostly white
