School update:
The school continues to grow. The number on roll now is 701 (366 boys and 336 girls). That includes 90 in Classes 7 and 8 (Junior
Secondary)
The mean score continues to improve.
MS 2022
254.
MS 2023
272. This is a very good result
compared to other schools in the region.
There are very few boarders so far this year (7
girls and 4 boys) but HT expects that more will be brought in by KWS and the
mining contractors.
The new secondary school which has 2 classrooms
and is situated a few kilometres away is expected to have its first intake of
Year 10 students in 2026. Secondary
Schools will then have only 3 year groups, 10/11/12.
