The school also lists separate addresses for its receptionist and bursar on its own contact page. Those are personal mailbox addresses rather than official school ones, so we do not republish them here. Take them from windsorhigh.co.za directly if you need to reach a specific office.
Check the email domain before you send anything
Several directory sites list this school’s address as ending in wcgschools.co.za. The correct domain is wcgschools.gov.za, which is the Western Cape Government’s schools domain. A message to the wrong one will not reach the school.
This matters beyond a bounced email. Never pay school fees or an application deposit into an account sent to you by email without phoning the office on the number above and confirming the banking details by voice. Redirected school fee payments are a recurring scam, and the emails involved usually look entirely ordinary.
Admissions
Windsor High is an ordinary public school, so admissions run through the Western Cape Education Department’s online application system rather than through the school alone. Applications for the following year open early in the preceding year and close well before the school year starts.
- Apply online through the WCED admissions site during the published window. Late applications are handled separately and place is not guaranteed.
- Phone the school office on 021 696 2974 to confirm what supporting documents to bring in and by when.
- If you are not offered a place anywhere, that is a district matter rather than a school one. Metro Central Education District places unplaced learners.
School fees and exemptions
Where a public school charges fees, parents who cannot afford them have a legal right to apply for full or partial exemption. The application is made to the school governing body, and it is assessed on household income against the annual fee, not on discretion.
A school may not refuse to admit a learner, withhold a report, or exclude a child from activities because of unpaid fees. If that happens, raise it with the district office.
If the school does not resolve it
Start with the school office, then the principal, then the school governing body. Beyond that:
| Route | Contact |
|---|---|
| WCED call centre | 0861 92 33 22 |
| Safe Schools line, free and confidential | 0800 45 46 47 |
| District office | Metro Central Education District |
The Safe Schools line takes reports of bullying, assault, drugs and abuse, and a learner can phone it themselves. It is free from a cellphone. For an emergency in progress, phone 10111, or 112 from a cellphone.
