Terms of Use

This website is operated by Summerhill Private School (Pty) Ltd (“Summerhill”, “the School”, “we”, “us” or “our”). By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, you should stop using the website.

These terms apply to the public website and links to our external application and Book-a-Tour forms. Separate enrolment agreements, school rules, fee schedules and policies may apply to learners and families and will prevail where they address the same subject matter.

The website provides general information about Summerhill School, its educational offering, admissions, fees, scholarships, campus, activities, news and contact channels. Website content is informational and does not by itself constitute an offer of admission, guarantee of a place, scholarship award or binding educational agreement.

• Application and tour requests are submitted through external forms operated for Summerhill.
• You must provide accurate, current and complete information and have authority to submit information concerning a child.
• Submitting a form does not guarantee admission, a tour time, placement or a scholarship.
• Admissions remain subject to the School’s requirements, available capacity, supporting documents, assessments, fees and formal acceptance process.
• Personal information submitted through forms is handled in accordance with our Privacy & Cookies Policy and applicable law.

You may use this website only for lawful, personal and informational purposes. You may not:

• submit false, misleading, fraudulent or unauthorised information;
• attempt to gain unauthorised access to the website, forms, systems or data;
• introduce malware, interfere with security, overload services or disrupt other users;
• scrape, harvest or systematically copy website content or personal information without written permission;
• impersonate another person or misrepresent your relationship with a learner or guardian;
• use website content in a way that infringes intellectual property, privacy or other rights; or
• use the website for unlawful, abusive, defamatory or harmful activity.

Unless stated otherwise, the website, its design, text, photographs, video, graphics, logos, school names and other content belong to or are licensed to Summerhill and are protected by intellectual property laws.

You may view and print reasonable extracts for private, non-commercial use. You may not reproduce, modify, distribute, publish, sell, license or commercially exploit website content without prior written permission. Summerhill learner images may not be copied, republished or used for training, advertising or profiling.

We take reasonable care to keep information accurate and current, but website content may contain errors or become outdated. Dates, fees, curricula, activities, staff details, facilities, availability and admissions requirements may change. Confirm information that is important to your decision directly with the School.

We may update, suspend, remove or replace website content without notice.

The website may link to external forms, maps, videos, social media, payment services or other third-party websites. These services are governed by their own terms and privacy practices. We are not responsible for third-party content, availability or security, although we remain responsible for personal information processed by operators on our behalf as required by applicable law.

We aim to keep the website available and secure but do not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free or virus-free access. Access may be limited for maintenance, security, technical failures or circumstances beyond our reasonable control. You are responsible for using appropriate device and network security.

To the fullest extent permitted by South African law, the website and its content are provided on an “as available” basis. Summerhill will not be liable for indirect, incidental or consequential loss arising solely from use of, or inability to use, the public website.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including rights and remedies available under the Consumer Protection Act, 2008, POPIA or liability arising from gross negligence or intentional misconduct.

Our collection and use of personal information is described in the Website Privacy & Cookies Policy. By submitting information, you confirm that you have read that policy and are authorised to provide the information submitted.

We may block or restrict access where we reasonably believe a user has breached these terms, threatened website security, infringed rights or acted unlawfully. We may report suspected unlawful conduct to the appropriate authorities where required or permitted by law.

We may update these terms to reflect changes to the website, School practices or applicable law. The revised terms take effect when posted with an updated date. Continued use after publication means the revised terms apply to subsequent use.

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa. Subject to any mandatory consumer rights or dispute-resolution process, disputes relating to the website fall within the jurisdiction of the competent courts in Gauteng, South Africa.

Questions about these terms may be sent to info@summerhill-school.co.za or addressed to Summerhill Private School (Pty) Ltd, Cnr, 8th and 10th Road, Erand, Midrand 1685.
