Reviews of EDENGLEN PRIMARY SCHOOL

I highly recommend that you do not take your child to this school. The library system needs to stop, My son is coming home crying and handing me a note telling me that "your son has not been reading therefor he got a demirt." My son can read very well and we don't need to be reading a book every week. The litter at the school disappoints me and the kids in the school are swearing and fighting constantly'.

I go to Eden glen primary school and I say it is a wonderful school Mrs Rademan is doing her best and it depends on when those incidents happened. And I am sorry for what happened with your child but you are mistaken.

Kind regards Anonymous.

I am disgusted in the treatment I got from a teacher when I enquired about registering my child at the school. I was insulted and shouted at because I was asking questions. I have since lodged an enquiry with the Department of Education and will not drop the matter. Truly a government school, no different from any other. Morals have dropped.

I am in the process of trying to get my two children into another school, due to the way the principal Ms Rademan handled the assault of my son two weeks ago. My son was strangled from behind, then punched in the jaw and his school clothes ripped apart by another pupil. The first staff member who this was reported to told the other pupil don, t do it again , I then went to the principal to sort the matter out, the principal gave my son 5 days break detention and the other pupil 20 days break detention , I agrred to this. I later found out that the other pupil was only given 5 days like my son, I hardly think this is fair, no wonder we have kids behaving like they do. I later had a meeting with principal on 25 October to sort this out as I was not happy. I told the principal I was not acepting this and I was told she will deal with punishment her way. I then requested transfer forms to find a new school for my kids to attend, when I received the form I was asked to remove my son from the school straight away, I did this and I removed my daughter that at the same time. All the schools in the area are full and would not help us out. I now have the Ekuruleni North education department involved, who so far have been nothing more than useless, I refer to Rona Mawela, I have now had to get alawyer involved to sort this out. I have never met a principal as rude and unprofessional as M s Rademan, I would like to warn other parents against sending their kids here , where they tolerate violence against other pupils, and the principal is ineffective in handling the situation.
