School uniforms are where the real cost sits
For many families the uniform costs more than the fees, and this is the area where parents most often assume they have no choice. National guidance discourages schools from tying parents to a single supplier, and encourages uniforms built around generic items that can be bought anywhere.
- Ask which items genuinely have to come from a designated supplier, and which are generic. Grey trousers, white shirts and plain shoes usually need not be bought at a premium.
- Exclusive supplier arrangements have been the subject of national attention precisely because they raise costs for families. A school should be able to explain why an item is restricted.
- Ask about second hand uniform sales. Many schools run one, and it is often not advertised to new parents.
- Uniform cost is not a lawful reason to exclude a child. If a learner is being kept out of class or an activity over uniform, raise it with the governing body and then the district.
- Ask the governing body where uniform decisions are made. The SGB sets the code, and parents elect the SGB, so that meeting is where the decision can change.
The other costs to ask about upfront
- Aftercare is frequently run by a separate provider on school grounds, with its own fees and its own contract. Ask who runs it before assuming the school does.
- Tours, camps and outings are separate from fees, and a school may not make an excursion a condition of promotion to the next grade.
- Sport and cultural activity costs, including kit and transport, add up. Ask for the year’s expected extras in writing.
- Fee exemption covers school fees, and a family who qualifies should apply through the governing body rather than falling into arrears.
Language and admissions
Teaching and assessment are in Afrikaans, which families searching in English sometimes discover late. The governing body sets language policy within provincial rules, so the office cannot waive it by phone.
Grade 1 applications run through the Gauteng online admissions system during the published window, with supporting documents due within a stated period. Escalate matters to the principal, then the governing body, then the Ekurhuleni district. Childline is 116 and an emergency is 10111.
