Horrible school, refuses to improve
The teachers are horrible and cannot teach, the highschool is given essentially no freedom to do anything whatsoever. They constantly preached being anti bullying but at the same time would pretend the school was completely free of it as it was actively going on essentially in front of them. Overtime it has only gotten worse, and the school changes staff essentially all the time, TONS of snakes, that they will not tell you anything about, and the school would take all the money it was paid and...

Horrible, dont go here, save your money and your children
i was there for about 4 years and the first year in 2020 was fine but after lock down it went to hell. The owner uses the school money for her own personal holidays and fun instead of fixing the chairs and tables and the torn down classrooms too. When you enroll their they will tell you they have a strict no bullying policy but this couldn't be less true and is complete garbage. There is only one class per grade so not much kids to look out for and there is a serious bullying problem that they p...

Worst school
Awful school. The North Korea of schools, the school Matilda attended, just an awful school. The first problem is that the school has SNAKES, and I found out as a parent by my daughter friend. She had just come back from the bathroom and came running to us, telling us about the snake head she saw peking out of the pipe. Around the area, the grade 9s are allocated to sit during break. The second problem is that the school has a clear favoritism problem, maybe racism. You can see how the principle...

The North-Korea of r schools or that Trunchbull school from Matilda.
The school is awful. Just as bad as the school Matilda attended with a few Trunchbull teachers(not all the teachers are bad). Feel a clear favoritism problem maybe racism, lack of communication my daughter only got a 2 to 3 weeks notice before entrepreurs day (I DIDN'T EVEN GET A LETTER), lack of freedom for the older kids they are still treated as if they are in grade 5. ALSO FORGOT TO INFORM ME THERES SNAKES IN THE SCHOOL. A friend of my daughter had seen a snake head coming out of the pipe around the area where the grade 9s are allocated to sit during break. She had seen this coming back from the bathroom during a sports day. Last year, a snake fell from the tree onto the learner where the learners were having an assembly. (Again, not all the teachers are bad. Most are bad.) Just do not send your kids here, please ?. P.S. Most of the staff are underpayed, such as the ground workers and cleaners. Most do office jobs or work with your kids. For E.g, two of the ground workers teach P.E. and are still getting underpaid. A teacher was teaching me 5 subjects. This school is unfair to the students, parents, and staff

Using the COVID-19 pandemic is not much of a excuse since the sc...

Bateleur College - Absolutely Brilliant
Moving our little guy to Bateleur College was one of the best decisions we ever made. He was previously at PLG and was bullied terribly.He hid away from people and stuck to himself. We explained this to Bateleur when we signed up and from day one,the love and care shown to Rogan was unbelievable. He came out of his shell, he has a wonderful group of friends, excels at his school work and he loves going to school. On a personal note, the love and care shown to me when my hubby had Covid pneumonia was incredible. Chandre Roux, and Liesl Gouws, I can never thank you enough for your support. As a parent, you will not regret sending your children to Bateleur College

Bateleur College
I have only had good experiences at Bateleur College since 2015. I have only admiration for the staff and management for the manner in which they coped in providing a full curriculum during lockdown. The learners were not impacted negatively at all. Well done to all involved.

Bateleur College
Bateleur College has dedicated staff who not only educate the learners... they care about the learner holistically. The environment lends itself to learning in the outdoors in a fun manner.

Loving and caring
Small country school. Very loving and nurturing and the teachers really care about each individual child. Lovely environment.
