Terrible management
I wish I had read some of the reviews of this school before enrolling my daughter in this school. By far the worst school in the area. The headmistress is an absolutely vile person, who has no ways of communications with parents. Given her education background you would expect her to have some level of understanding when dealing with parents and issues. She has no respect and screams at parents. She sings the song of antibullying but does absolutely nothing when concerns are raised. In my opinio...

Gordon Road-Look back with utter disgrace
Unorganised, standards dropped. Lots of bias and racism, do not send daughter here please. Tons of bullying and bad facilities. Lack of communication to parents and children

SAVE UR MONEY
Absolutely pathetic school! Communicating with the school is an absolute issue. In terms of Batho Pele principles the head of the school should be assessible to parents. If you want to emotionally damage your child, send her there! Its like a prison.

Gordon Road Girls
My little girl spent a year there. Emotionally damaged her. I was told my child has to be on Ritolin - A certain junior teacher told me there is no hope for my girl and had her favorites. I got my kid into a new school. She has blossomed into a above average student. I cannot wait to send the principal her academic results she has received. If you support the school with all the sponsorship you will be on their good books.

Its okay
GRGS has a lot of potential to be one of the best primary schools in Durban.Most of the teachers only care if you pass,other than that teachers don't really care.One of the best grades have to be grade 6 because the teachers care about how well you're doing academically,emotionally and physically. Gordon road is so much more and most of the teachers need to pay attention to every other aspect too. The teachers can emotionally drain you,they constantly shout at you and/or make fun of you.GRGS needs to step up their game

Very Disappointed
It's been seven years since I've left the school and I do hope that they've improved. My experience at this school was negative, the teachers didn't care that I was getting bullied, they have actually made terrible remarks about me in front of other students which resulted in a very unsafe working environment for me. I was told that I was overreacting, I could not express myself properly during my time at this school. This resulted in my mental health being compromised throughout my high school years and even well into my adulthood. I was very disappointed because I know this school has a lot of potential to be an amazing instituion for young ladies but unfortunately the staff have been unprofessional and disrespectful (they should understand that this can actually have a mental and emotional effect on their students).

Disappointment
I am very disappointed with this school. It's my daughters 1st yr. I expected the teachers to be less shouty and more kind as well as encourage kindness amongst all girls' from various cultures. This school has huge potential to be an amazing elementary girl's school. I also noticed that the jr primary level pay little attention to developing the girl's motor skills. There is no play area or jungle gym for the learners. These are kids only once. 3 quarter of the kids time is spent at schoo...
