    Could never recommend

    The current school management has proven that they care only about the image that the school portrays and not the wellbeing of the students and parents alike. Formal feedback and complaints from parents are routinely dismissed or ignored by senior management especially when questioning decisions made by them, aa well as a severe lack of communication to parents about certain events or changes being made at the school. This results in a seemingly universal feeling of dissatisfaction among student...

    Absolutely not.

    Horrible executive management! Treating the children like money magnets and do not punish their children well! If you love your child, do not send them here. All that matters to this school is image.

    The truth

    It may seem to be a good school, i admit it at first i thought it was great when i started but sadly... Apparently its corrupt i dont know the whole story but anyways teachers are bullies and once i over heard teachers conversations numerous times. Once one of the teachers said im bullshit and i overheard one talk about how much money their milking out of a parent. These people cover up things with lies too. Honestly the education is average but the teachers are just straight up bullies. Please don't put your kids here. Im not going to go into high detail of everything but heres one more thing, someone acted like a security guard and had been in our school for months before the other guys found out. -anonymous

    The Best Secondary School in Kempton Park!

    The Secondary School is a dynamic and fun place to be educated. The teachers are of a high calibre. The Secondary Schools academic record and accolades speak for themselves. The Principal is innovative, caring and approachable. All three of my children attended. Shangri-laHooha!!! Small school BIG difference!!!

    Run Far Away

    Not a good school. The teachers are bad and the high school is even worse. Do not send your children here, only if you want them to do badly. They lie about extracurriculars and make them seem great but they don't have any activities after school.

    Don't go here

    I developed severe anxiety and depression cause of this school. If you love your kids don't send them here. This school is ridiculously good at pretending they're amazing but they're a lie.
