Abbotts College Pretoria East - STAY AWAY

I enrolled my son with Abbotts College Pretoria East during October of last year. My son has Asperger syndrome but he is not only highly functional but also highly gifted. This was discussed in detail and there was no objection and we received an official letter confirming is admission. As we stay in a rural town it was necessary for my wife to move to Pretoria and based on my sons admission I proceeded to enter into an agreement to purchase a house close to the school. On the 8th of December 2021 I received a call from the RECEPTIONIST informing me that his admission was revoked. They did give a valid reason which was rectified immediately and proof of such was e-mailed to the Deputy Principal as the school was already closed. She never answered me. In the new year I got hold of the Principal and after explaining everything she apologized for the manner in which it was handled and invited us to visit her to discuss the matter. We did so and afterwards his admission was reinstated. With regards to his Asperger's and all possible challenges that might occur, which we disclosed in detail, her answer was throughout "we will work around it". Well it took them exactly two days before we received the second call from the new Deputy Principal asking us to come in for a discussion on how to handle certain peculiarities in my sons personality, it was on a Friday if I recall correct. Believe it or not on the Sunday morning the Principal called me and told me we must leave our son at home when we come in for the meeting which was vey peculiar. After I pushed her it turned out that the decision was already taken on the Tuesday that they do not want my son in their school. They were kind enough to offer to reimburse all fees I paid up to that point but this has still not been done. I received a mail yesterday from the same receptionist asking me for proof of payment of the fees. I duly indicated that she can simply check their system and she will find proof. This morning she called my wife with the same request. I wrote her and the principal again this morning attaching proof of payment which I got from their parents portal which she has full access to. These people have absolutely no feelings and everyone who reads all their beautiful little catch phrases and promises on their website should be warned, it is all lies. I have never experienced such incompetence, lying and humiliation in my life and that does not begin to describe how my son felt. Stay away if you care for your child.
