I had an overall pleasant experience with the school. The teachers were caring and really helped me with my schoolwork. I felt very welcome and supported during my time as a student at Wierda Independent School
Wierda Independent School really is a special place where learners are made to feel welcome, supported and encouraged to be the best they can be. The school has such a warm, nurturing environment that makes a big difference to how confident and comfortable learners feel every day. The teachers are incredibly empathetic and truly care about each learner as an individual. They go the extra mile, not just academically, but also emotionally, which speaks volumes about their dedication. It’s a school that genuinely feels like a second home, and one that shapes well-rounded, happy learners.
Wierda Independent School makes sure to make the best for all learners.
Teachers go more than the extra mile and that is something others won't understand, until your child is there, where he went from having no self confidence to being the most outspoken and achieving learner in the grade.
I will always be grateful for the team of educators at Wierda Independent School.
This school has helped many children who need extra attention and love. I have witnessed children with anger and frustration changing into loving little people. The teachers are all very caring and attentive to helping and giving additional support to whomever needs it.
Bulling is frowned upon and nipped in the bud as soos as they become aware of it. They work closely with Child Protection and get them involved when necessary.
I can only speak highly of everyone who is part of Wierda Independent.
I work like to just warn other moms regarding this school. I was first very impressed, how my child was doing so well, the first year in grade 1, but as i went along, i made friends with an Grade 2 mom, she had warned me, her daughter was doing great first in grade 2, but the teacher left in the second term and a new one had started. They said to give the teacher time to adjust and the kids marks will improve, as so many parents had moaned the kids marks had dropped since the teacher had starter. I thought ok, i will see for myself. My child past grade 1 with flying colours and here i thought ok, this school is good for them. To see in grade 2 how their marks dropped so much. I spoke to other moms and they noticed the same problem, not just in grade 2 but other grades too. I had no choice to remove my child and find an school to help them and get them on track. I feel so useless as i never listened to other moms at that time in grade 1 and i could of made a choice then and there. I had heard that a few other moms in same grade had removed their kids too. Please moms stand together and make sure you do your homework before you kids suffer more.
I promise you will regret sendinge your little children here.
I know of several Gr2 children, that still cannot read and don't even know their ABC's.
I have spoken to many mommies who's children started in in this school during the foundation face, who's kids are now lacking in knowledge, and far, far behind other children of the same age, and the same grade.
It's not that they have any sort of learning disability it's just that they were never thought probably during their time at this school.
The children all get these really high marks, but its all fake, the answers are given to them but not thought to them.
NO parent is allowed to communicate with any of the teachers in this school, you are only allowed to talk to the principle.
I have removed my child, but I deeply regret sending my kid here. I feel as a parent, I made a really really bad decision, and now my kid has to pay for it.
I waisted so much of our time and money, and my kid did NOT LEARN ANYTHING while here.
The school itself is fine, limited extra curriculum activities, classes I do not think gives the extra attention that is advertised. The Principal is awful, she is arrogant and entitled.
Would not recommend this school
