Westerford High School in Cape Town has maintained a consistent 100% pass rate for years, which has positioned the 69-year-old academic institution as one of the country’s top schools.
Westerford High School in Cape Town is one of South Africa’s most expensive public schools, and costs about R44,991 in annual school fees. After the results of its matriculants in the 2020 National Senior Certificate exams, Westerford was pronounced the top school in the Western Cape. The high school’s 2020 matric cohort received a 100% pass rate and achieved a bachelor pass rate of 99.4%. The school reported a 100% pass rate for 2021.
“That being said, we stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before us. Westerford has always had a very strong system; the teachers are passionate, and have always known the level of commitment that is required of them.” Westerford High School receives about 2,500 applications for 180 Grade 8 spots each year, according to Smith. “We simply can’t take everybody.” However, Smith says he looks for “the sparkle factor” – a unique quality that a prospective student can add to the school.
