Northriding ****** and horror College

I am deeply disappointed with the way this school treats our child. In February, our son was pushed by another learner and lost his teeth. The tooth has not grown back, and the school did nothing about it. His teacher ( Mrs Layna Macfarlane) once tore a card he was making for me and told him she didn’t care when he tried to explain. She shouts at him often but not at other learners. When other learners call him ***, she tells him to keep quiet instead of addressing the bullying. Our son once came home smelling of urine because the teacher refused to let him go to the bathroom and he ended up messing himself. The Head of Department ( Mrs Priscilla van Niekerk) also humiliated him in front of other learners, telling him to go to another school and that she would “fire him” from hers. Now he has been told he will not go on the school trip, even though I submitted the form on time. The school shows clear signs of ****** and hides it behind excuses about child behavior. Parents should be aware of how unfairly and harshly some children are treated here. It is very sad because this school was suitable for our son, and now the teachers are making it hard for him to flourish at school. The harsh treatment and words from these teachers are uncalled for. The school fees is very expensive for our child to be treated like this.
