I registered my son at Kingswood this year for Grade RR. i was given the school fees structure for the year which stated that i will need to pay an amount of R1400 every month which i have been doing every month. end of September, the school sent my son's statement with an outstanding balance but 2 payments that i made were not reflecting on the statement. i went to the school to enquire and it turns out that the school owes me R2000 because they apparently gave me the incorrect fee structure for the year. A request was then made that i get a refund and the Director named Pat, said that she will not make the refund as I paid extra money. I do not understand why I am at fault as the school was clearly not organized by sending me the wrong school fees structure for the year. I do not intend on taking my school out of the school but I cannot have the director of the school telling me what to do with money that is rightfully mine.

When I brought my child to the school I was attracted by the word "Christian school " Over the years I've learnt that no Christian values are taught in the school let alone modeled. Back in 2019 when my son started, the acting principal was so dishonest. They are so unethical when it comes to money shame. I continue to bring my child to this school another practice that caught my attention was the lost and found. Kids are taught to steal in that department, I dont care who says what but how can you say to child take whatever jacket even if it's not yours. That promotes stealing in the name of what " because we are trying to empty the lost and found" Then it was the teacher that communicated personal things in public worse to other parents that had no business to know what the neighbors child is doing even if it was a concern it was wrong to tell someone who is not a parent to that child issues about the child,that's gossip. Then it was the accounts department that fails to recon my account and send me the credit note. I've never missed a year without paying school fees but the letters of outstanding account came in like hot pan cakes. This is damaging to the child to learn that the parents are not paying the school fees. You send the proof of payment the account is not fixed. I'm really tired of kingswood and its stuff members. Can I get my refund and bare with me for just a few months I'll be out of your hair because I'm not going to let my son continue attending school in your institution SORRY

As a parent currently i wish i had gone through reviews to know if this school is ok. my 6year old is being mistreated, they are leaking information about our kids to outside people during these times when kidnapping are taking place, my daughter is facing discrimination, as they hound her for money.

I am very upset at how this school has treated me, Firstly my son is 6 years old but his doing Grade RR i went several times to inquire about this and i was told it was the school policy of which i did not understand till they changed the principal of the school i went back again to inquire about my son's grade and i was then told that the previous principal messed everything up which is not my fault and that many parents are coming for the same issue but then it is too late for our kids to be moved to the next grade because they wouldn't cope of which i understood because i went around August but note that i have been in and out of that school regarding the same issue. Secondly which makes me more upset is the fact that i went to the school to go collect my sons report and they refused because i have an outstanding amount and the worst sick part is that i am putting my son out of that school hence i cant get the report. Note that the reason i am removing my son out of this school is because they are so unorganized but their love for money is on another level , i mean the least they can do is just give me my sons report because they have inconvenienced my son and myself so much i mean i've wasted 12 months of my sons life in this school. Don't get me wrong i really love how they teach the kids and the improvement that ive seen in my son but i am just disappointed because the only thing they can say is sorry but their actions says something else.

Hi I am one of the parents at this school, I would like to express my greatest disgust in this school and in how its being run. They say this is a christian school but there is nothing christian going on at this school, the teachers and the principle lie all the time. They literally ignore parents and their concerns. The principle is never available to speak to parents and this includes the directors. I want to list the issues i have had with this school since my two sons started at this school in 2017. 1) The school is a safety hazard to the children that attend there because there is rocks and rubble laying in a curtain part of the school yard, to make matters worse the most of this waste is right by the grade RR and R classes, these students ages are between 3 and 6 years. These so called renovations has been ongoing since the school opened and are still not completed 4/5 years later. 2) The grade RR and R classes has children as young as 3 years old in them but the teachers do not do anything to assist the kids, their school uniform like jackets and jerseys go missing all the time, students eat each others food out of their lunch boxes and the teachers do nothing about it. Children this small need a teacher who is dedicated and qualified in the fundamental stage learning but they make the receptionist the teacher instead, this is a person who has no formal fundamental stage education/qualification whatsoever. 3) The kids do not get home work every day like they should, they only get home work now and again and sometimes the same thing over and over again. The biggest issue at this school is that they lie a lot and they are trying very hard to cover up whats actually going on there. Since my children started at this school they both have changed two teachers each because the teacher keep resigning, they start at the school and all is well then 6 months or so later the teacher has resigned and they then appoint the receptionist to take the class while they search for a new teacher. I am not sure about this but i think this school is not paying the teachers proper salaries because it looks like this is not a school its actually a family owned business designed to make them rich quickly, why else would educators keep on resigning from the school? The saddest part is that they are doing all this under the pretense of Christianity, they are using the name of God and our religion to reach their financial goals, doing it all with the school as a front because its really not operating like a proper school and its sad that our kids are being exposed to this. This school has no sporting activities at all, they don't even have basic sports like cricket and soccer. i don't see netball or anything at this school, infect there is no sport teacher and no sporting grounds. all the beautiful promises they have made to us as parents never came to light. where have you ever seen a school that does not have a parents meeting all year long from beginning till the end of the year. There was only one night we were called to the school last year to have a look at your child's school books, that was not a school meeting where parents can raise their concerns. This school principle and the directors are afraid that if they have a school meeting they will be forced to close their doors because the other parents who don't know whats going will find out and start looking for a better school for their kids like i am currently doing. I pray that God forgives them for using his name to make money in such a dishonest way.

<p>I enrolled my son to Kingswood Christian school late 2016.</p> <p>That would turn out to be the biggest mistake I've ever made. The school is unethical to the core. The passed week the school sports have been locked , meaning learners have had to wait outside until the receptionist reports for work at 7:30(which by the way is the time the school starts). On other days like today, even the gates are locked. I have been sending emails trying to get an explanation or for them to change their ways to no success. The school principal refuses to speak to me and keeps telling me he will speak to the child's grandmother. I am the child's mother and the one who pays the school fees. Today he sent me an email saying that the teachers do not need to report for duty before 7:30 and this baffles me because how does that make any sense? The school day as in the learning or assembly is supposed to commence at 7:30 that does not mean that the gates are to remain closed until then. I have tried everything, I send emails, I call and no one cares and they have the utter nerve to respond days after , disregarding the safety issue and worse the Principal hung up on me when I called as I asked to speak to the director seeing that he was taking my concerns lightly. </p>

<p>I am highly dissapointed in the service received from this school. I am one of the parent at the school and have been complaining for the past 3 months now (quarter), I have paid an amount of R6 700 at the beginning of the school re-opening in January and did not received what was promised school which was the texts books and school unirform. To my knowledge this is a christian school but the lies given by the receptionist are way too far and the director too. I've been calling in requesting for the feedback but non was given to me except for the lies. Shernice has been lying since day 1 until today. I am a single parent and I am staying in Pretoria and cannot afford to be going to the school to ask for them to give my son who is grade 1 his belonging because they promised to do that as the school. they are liers more that Satan himself, all they know i sending stupid statements and demanding school fees and which is paid up to date. I am really fed up with this school and the worse part is that they don't even communicate with the parent about everything, the only communication they do is when they need money from parents. I hate doing this but now I am really fed up. Shernice and all of them. I haope they burn in hell for lying to me and stressing my mother who is taking care of my son while I am away woring hard for my son to get the best education they promised.</p>
