Rejection of child by Andrews academy

We were looking to place our eldest son in Andrews as they offer a Cambridge curriculum.

We had to pay a R500 application fee and then R900 for an assessment, which we did. They then requested a character reference from his previous school.

Finally, after that was all in order, our boy had to go for an interview with the principal. She simply decided that Andrews would not be suitable.

Now, why not do the bits that do not cost any money whatsoever first? Why take peoples money, in these trying times, and then simply decide that you will not be taking in the child?

They espouse "Christian values" with "individual attention" but reject a child on a whim. That, of course, has quite an impact on a child... well, and the parents.

Anyway, if you are considering this school, perhaps ask to do the bits that aren't going to leave you out-of-pocket first.
