This school is a lie. Don't even think of taking your child there. Everything in their applications forms is lies. The owners are just scamming people. They don't care about the children futures all they care about is money. My son started grade 1 in this useless school last year. I was paying them R4 325 per month. 1) They didn't do any sports the whole year but when i was applying for my son they told me they have all types of sport he will choose himself. 2) The grade1 class teacher made up report results and in particular the subject Afrikaans. My son passed the subject with flying colors but when I gave him random tests at home to do, he failed to identify a word or even make up a sentence. 3) There is no discipline instilled in the school and teachers are known to resign with short notice thus leaving school kids without a teacher for a long period. The school is not dedicated to teaching at all and only wasting my child's education . 4) They have no safety measures in place that ensure that the kids are safe while in the school premises. The school kids are always being bullied and come home with injuries, yet while I report to the school they always seem clueless about such incidents. 4) The concerning part of this school is that they forge the reports and there is no transparency with the level of education they receive. They only care about their reputation and that is the reason they make up good results for the kids even though that is not the case. 5) I am a concerned parent and raising important issues about this school and another issue is school fees. The school expects me to pay full school fees of (R4 325) for the month of December ( 4 days of school) even though they attend for a few days. I have disagreed to pay it and feel it is not fair to pay in full for only 4 days of school not to mention the inferior education they give my child.

Radley has undergone a huge transformation over the past two years. The two new Principals have turned the school around. As part of any transformation, and enforcing structure, quality and care there are many incumbent stakeholders that resist and feel uncomfortable. They lash out on social media to hurt the brand. Unfortunately this only hurts the kids they purported to serve. Millions of Rands has been poured into the school in terms of infrastructure, better teachers, entrepreneurship, and maths. The results have been quick and there to see for those who have embraced this change. Every day a dedicated, better and better selected and trained faculty go to work to ensure that Radley learners get the best possible education for the future. Giving them the highest possible chance of becoming job creators and not job seekers. There will always be those that hate and resist change, but thank goodness there will also, always be those that drive progress.

  • Dorfling-Smith Optometrists

I am an Optometrist who did visual screenings at Radley Private School. I was delighted with the friendly staff at the school and how helpful they were in assisting with getting the kids to me that was registered for the visual screenings. The environment was very organised, and the teachers are exceptionally focused on their learners and doing their best to assist each learner in their educational development. This is a wonderfully structured, yet child friendly school where I could see the effort put into education and the over-all well-being of each little entrepreneur. Radley Private School's friendly, fun and educational focus complemented my own focus of looking after every learner’s visual well-being. Thank you very much for making use of my service and I cannot wait to be at your school again. Kind Regards Lizelle

As a former student of Radley, graduating in 2019, I have both positive and negative things to list. 1. The school’s management has little consideration for the students. Management focuses on entrepreneurial activities but does it poorly so the students end up wasting time that can be differently and more productively used. 2. Unorganised. As matrics, we were shifted from classroom to classroom countless of times, disrupting our focus. 3. Maths lit students were left without a qualified teacher for months which affected our results. 4. It is a school where lies are sold and where more energy is put towards making the school appear attractive to the public. 5. I can say that the teachers are amazing and go above and beyond what they need to do. But as I have seen, management belittles them infront of students.

  • FERIAL HOFFMAN

My son is matriculating from Radley Private school in Ferndale this year, our experience of the school especially with the teachers and staff members was nothing short of amazing. I must mention that the teachers including the principal go over and above what is expected to support the learners and this is evident in their 100% pass rate the school achieve on an annual basis. The environment they create make it codusive for learning and my child always felt psychologically save. BIG THANK YOU TO YOU ALL FOR THE IMPACT YOU MADE TO OUR SON' S SCHOOLING CAREER AND DEVELOPMENT.

  • Dieketseng Nteo

My daughter started school this year at Radley and when it comes to picking a school I pay more attention to the teachers. My daughters grade 2 teacher; Mrs Jacobs is one who has made my child love school. She pays attention to the child in learning and reports i get from the child indicate a loving and caring teacher, who wants my child to get better every time. I wish she could be her teacher until she gets to matric(lol), Thank you for being the best Teacher we've ever came across Mrs Jacobs and giving my child the best education.

  • Juanita Croukamp

We as optometrists at Vision Works Ferndale had the privilege to do a school screening at Radley. We were immediately impressed by the beautiful, clean surrounds, the friendly, efficient staff and well-behaved students. The relaxed atmosphere is conducive to learning- we did not experience a rigid, typical school environment, but more of a stimulating learning academy. Well done, Radley! I hope we can make this an annual arrangement

  • Nkhensani Mashisane

Radley Private School has created a productive environment for learners to explore and develop their entrepreneurial skills and get an insight into what it's like to build a business from the ground up while still learning traditional subjects. It was an honour to be a speaker at a workshop at Radley. The learners and teachers were friendly and welcoming. What a lovely and fresh take on education.

  • Jason McQue

I was employed by Radley to teach a self defence course to their high school students. I found the staff very professional and the school forward thinking. They truly care about the learners full educational experience and the learners are happy and thriving. Its a lovely looking school as well. Would highly recommend it.

  • Nhlakanipho Shange

Radley is as amazing school that is taking a much needed, fresh, approach to education in South Africa, infusing entrepreneurial thinking into the curriculum. If you want your children to grown up to be independent thinkers, real problem solvers, then you absolutely must CHOOSE Radley Private School.

  • Jay Spendley

I was invited to speak at Radley as an entrepreneur and although I was sent a list of questions prior to my presentation, I was pleasantly surprised that the majority of the scholars had their own questions for me. I was very impressed by the interaction and I think this is a great initiative.

  • Rory Maaske

Had the opportunity to speak to these awesome kids today about being an entrepreneur. It was such a cool experience to see their positivity and more importantly their curiosity. They are extremely intelligent, articulate and confident. Awesome school and awesome kids!

  • Thembelihle Malitjane

Visited to share my entrepreneurial journey with the kids. Was so impressed by how engaged they were and the genuine interest they showed with the questions they asked after I shared. The teachers are lovely & it was just a positive experience being there. Keep it up!

  • DomiEdits_

I do not recommend this school, everything is a mess, they fire teachers for no reason, the principle isn’t as friendly, they sometimes don’t even have a teacher. We waited a whole 3 terms for a math teacher. Please refrain from enrolling your kid from here

  • Wayne Marucchi

We have experienced nothing but professionalism and great attitude from Radley. We have achieved great results and will not hesitate to continue enrolling our kids at Radley until they have all been through high school. Highly reccommended!!!!

My first time at the school, I was blown away by the entrepreneurship posters, kindness of the staff and students and also the structure of the space. It definitely is one of the coolest schools I've been to.

  • Abalethu Makhanya

I wouldn't recommend Radley, the school is unorganized and could care less about it's students. I speak from personal experience, it really isn't what they say it is.
