Poor school management and not fully registered school
The school deserves a zero rating star. I refuse to believe that the school is properly registered with the Department of Education. Don’t even bother registering your kids there, from the rude principal and his wife who can’t take accountability of anything, when you raised concerns the first thing that they asked of is that you paid your school fees. I paid the school on time. Their curriculum is outdated they never updated their textbooks in line with CAPS, when I was purchasing the textbooks in January other parents were even shocked to see kids using Oxfords instead of Platinum textbooks. The school doesn’t follow the ATP to show that kids write exams in December because they chase financial interests more than the academic and the wellbeing of our kids. I asked why are they writing exams in December when there are no transport services picking up kids to school since all the schools in Ferndale have closed. They told me to compromise for my kid- uber for her, what about her safety, with which money? She’s a girl child. All they care is to delay academics so that parents who didn’t pay the school fees can cover it up . What about us who paid on time? Their school curriculum only focuses on a classroom learning experience no diversity. In January we were given a list of stationary, not even in a single day, my kid came and said we have a project to submit, in a world where kids are encouraged for innovation and technology, none is happening in that school. I took a transfer letter and only to find discrepancies in the transfer letter and the school reports received mid year. Upon inquiry, the wife called me to explain that they were not using SA-SAMS to grade the marks of learners and I asked to have the explanation in writing so that I can take it to her new school, she requested the email of the new school. That’s invading privacy and why are they not providing to me as a parent. What proof do I have that they will submit to the new school? Imagine a school where you request a transfer letter they have to beg you not to take it because all they care is money. Since their calendar is not aligned with the government school calendar, I asked how will they align their 2026 calendar with GDE, the teacher said my kid can write early than other kids. lol I mean how on earth would that happen? I asked if learners write school exam late, when do they get the time to mark and submit their schedule, I got no reply. In June my kid had to miss lessons for a week because her transport was not available due to their inconsistencies with their school calendar. The school reports are received two weeks after the school has reopened. No parent school meeting because they are scared we will raise this issue. My concern is that if a grade 11 leaner can write an exam by December not aligned with the Department of education examination dates, meaning the leaner can access the exam questions from other schools before they write. Who approves this, why is everything not aligned with the government systems? The school admit leaners by term 3 who chased from other schools. They care about quantity rather than quality.

Worst place ever
Zero stars! The staff at this school are insinuative, rude, and display disgusting behavior. My child had a horrific experience, and the school's failure to address the issues shows their incompetence. The teachers, specifically Mr. Ngobo and Mamoyo, have appalling attitudes towards students. The receptionist, Mr. Mabena, is equally unacceptable. The way they treat learners is outrageous. Honestly, the school would be better off shutting down if they can't provide a safe and respectful environment. Avoid this place at all costs!!
