My opinion of this horrible school.
Teachers are rude and mean, they pick favourites, and some are even racist; they don't even care about their jobs anymore, they are only there for the other teachers who are their friends. Once I was bullied, and I told a teacher, the teacher told me to leave because she wouldn't listen to my 'bullshit', so I had to leave because I was young. The principal is weird and creepy, and she made the teachers wash the students' feet once and even if some said no, then the teachers would not even listen...

Keeping children out of school because of fees
Unfortunately although this is a great school when it comes to providing quality education, there is a lack of empathy when addressing issues. Creating a fake image of family knowing very well that you will completely stop allowing attendance if fees are not up to date is completely terrible and the furthest thing from Christian. Parents are told to borrow money to pay fees even though it could be late by one month. It isn’t a school for the middle class nor does it try to understand the circums...

A experience one learnt from
The school great fields but lacks when it comes to education. The teachers are racist but they won't show it directly. One teacher had a problem with me which made my experience a leaving hell. I could not experience having a relationship with staff members because of the one teacher that made sure that I didn't. Even if you complain they will make sure they favor the one causing the problem than the one whom has complained. But I'm grateful for the experience which has taught me a lot.

My experience
I remember the first time I walked through the office of Solid Foundations primary school in grade R and I thought will i ever be as tall and scary as the grade 7's.That year has come way sooner than expected and now im writing a review about the school!! I am greatful to be one of the children who has seen Solid Foundations become what it is today... Solid Foundations tought how to lead be ambitious, persevere , always stay humble and generous... Soild Foundations is a place where I could try anything beacause i knew that i was being supported by my parents and wonderful Principal Mrs Helembold, it is a place where you can gain confidence in yourself, feel safe and relaxed. This school is like a big warm family this kind of vibe, atmosphere, community it really is 1 in a million.. It's so sad that I have to leave this amazing family. I will truly miss it and it will hold a special place in my heart...

Lovely School
Excellent school. Teachers are energetic and you can see they love teaching, love the children and enjoy coming to school. They definitely give more than what is expected. The school grounds, classrooms and toilets are always clean. The children are polite and are happy. A gem of a school!!

From a Solid Foundations Mommy
I sent both of my children to Solid Foundations beginning in Grade RR. The school is clean and safe, with wonderful playgrounds and well-equipped classrooms. I do wish there was enough space for a big grassy field and hope that they will keep expanding the school grounds until there is. There is a real sense of "family" at the school. When my children were accepted, I felt like the whole family was accepted - and the teachers have been willing to do extra work to support my children and me.

Great school
Great school. My son loves to go to school and my daughter (now in high school) is doing beautifully because of the "solid foundation".

World class
The best primary school in Kempton park by far ! Passionate brilliant teachers / very professional management and incredible high standards all round ! The high standard might explain why some give it poor reviews - they themselves didn’t meet the grade! (Sour grapes ) Don’t hesitate to enroll your child

Fantastic Primary School
This school is the best, they love each and every child as their own. The staff are all so friendly and willing to assist the kids. If I phone, email or go to the school for any reason I’m always greeted and offered assistance.
