In true Krugersdorp High School fashion, innovation and dedication to our children’s education is the fundamental business to the school and Mr Bailey and his Execuitive Management endeavour to find solutions to educational concerns. It is for this reason that Krugersdorp High School has invested in the creation of a reading laboratory. It is widely known that South Africa is currently dealing with a national crisis and reading levels are a major concern. The school is of the firm belief that in order for our learners to achieve at the expected level, they need to be provided with opportunities to improve.
Intervention classes take place on a daily basis, this ensuring that no learner is left behind from an academic standpoint. Our educators are dedicated to ensuring that a child is provided with multiple opportunities to improve on their academics.
With 1700 learners and more than 300 learners per grade, Mr Bailey is passionate about ensuring that our class sizes average between 25 and 30 learners.
Each class has an interactive white board and full wi-fi infrastructure for our learners and educators. Our teachers strive to combine technology with traditional teaching methods to provide our children with the best possible classroom experience.
