School from hell
This school is destroying my child making her feel and believe that she is dump. There's a lot of double standards from the teachers and the management. I remember they even wanted to retain her despite her having passed all her subjects. They have created a rift between me and her by making me believe that she is a problem. My daughter she does not even feel comfortable going to school and lost her confident. They were quick to convince me that she needed therapy that he actually didn't need. She ended up being put on Ritalin and Risperdal at the same time. If one understands Risperdal's effects then they will understand what it does to a child. I feel that there's racism there or if u can't pay full fees or granted exemption your child will suffer and they will try by all means to get rid of your child at school. I can't say its a pleasure having her in Craighall Primary. I believe the system is failing us especially if you don't belong to a certain race or you not wealthy you must just do yourself and child favour by not taking them to that school. Even when there's events, certain races (pupils) are allowed to participate .Eg - poems , speeches etc.I can't say its a pleasure having her in Craighall Primary. I hope one day or soon i will be able to afford and find her a better and fair school!
They dont have patient with kids
My daughter was taken out of the school to a school that cares for kids with serious difficulties and there the teachers at that school requested me to take her back to Craighall or find a good school for her because she was not supposed to be at that school with kids who have very difficult challengers to learn. My daughter's books at Craighall Park, showed good marks always but to my surprise was told that they have found a school where i should take my child and was called in to sign some forms. I feel that they do not have patience with kids. Most kids of color are removed in grade 3 stating that they too active or too slow and need remedials.
Craighall Primary has the biggest heart
Mrs Prout-Jones is an amazing leader who helps to create a loving, caring and inclusive environment for all the staff and children.
This school has the biggest heart. The children are happy and thrive in this traditional, yet open and caring environment.

A shell of a school
This is a school that lack’s proper communication, lack’s humility and empathy. We had to take our child out within a month because they isolated our child. He was in the foundation phase. They are quick to point out problems with no solutions. Don’t be fooled by their facade they portray.
Very well managed
Motivated, passionate, non biased and resourceful.
Craighall Primary: Top allrounder
A truly wonderful school. Our son is so happy there. Absolutely fantastic staff led by a brilliant Principal. The quality of teaching and learning is outstanding - as good if not better than many of the local private schools. Supplementing such strong academic credentials is a full programme of extra curricular cultural activities and sports catering for all our youngsters' needs. And there is such a wonderful community and value-based ethos eliciting strong mindfulnessand consideration of others, especially those less fortunate, or causes that make a difference to the wider community. We honestly feel so lucky and privileged to be a part of this special school's family.
