We wish to congratulate the class of 2023 for an impressive performance in their KCSE examinations.

The class posted a mean score of 10.08 with 13 students scoring straight As. Three of these students scored 84 points, the maximum aggregate possible! We note with appreciation that 97% of the class met university entry requirements.

 

The class also posted impressive results in Computer Studies (12.00); French (11.37); Mathematics (11.25) and Kiswahili (10.345).

We thank all the teachers who walked with these students, especially during the shortened post-Covid academic years. The teachers went out of their way to hold after-school and Saturday classes in order to accelerate syllabus coverage. Many teachers held one-on-one remedial sessions, which went a long way in addressing learning gaps. This self-giving has yielded dividends! A big thank you to our teachers!

Special thanks to our parents for walking with your sons and for making heroic sacrifices for them. Your efforts, unconditional love and sacrifices have gone a long way in realising the success we celebrate today. Thank you, our parents!

And to our candidates who did the heavy lifting: studying in a day school requires self-discipline, self-drive and a strong will. You displayed all these and more and you have reaped the fruits; congratulations!

As you move on to the next phase of your academic journey, we are confident that you have the knowledge and skills to succeed in whichever field you choose. We are also confident that you go out to the world carrying within you the values and attitudes that make you true men of integrity.

As we promised you on Prize Giving Day, you can count on our prayers and remember, in Strathmore, you will always have a home!

The Form 4 Class of 2022 has posted an impressive 10.50 mean score in the KCSE examinations results released on Friday, 20th January 2023. This is a significant improvement on the 9.88 mean score posted by the Class of 2021.

We note with gratitude that 89 out of the 90 candidates attained the minimum entry requirement to University.

The class did extremely well in all subjects with Computer Studies maintaining a perfect mean of 12! French (11.813) and Geography (11.125) were also extremely well performed. The class also registered a tremendous improvement in mathematics and the three sciences.

We wish to thank God for these results and for His benevolence. We thank the parents of the class of 2022. You proved on so many occasions during your son’s academic odyssey at Strathmore your love for your sons and the school. This love and sacrifice have borne fruit, a hundredfold! We also thank the teachers who responded so generously to the great push that this class gave them in the quest for excellence. We appreciate the effort, dedication and commitment it took to realize these results. To the chaplaincy team, the mentors, administrative and support staff: these results would not have been possible without your support.

And to the late Ryan Kigo whose gentle twinkle, like the beautiful lone star in the sky has been inspiring the class from heaven: You will remain a living icon and an inseparable part of this class, thank you!

We wish these gallant young men all the best in their next phase of life.

The school, and indeed your sons, will be eternally grateful to you! God has indeed blessed your efforts with success!

We also wish to thank the members of staff, both teaching and non-teaching: You went out of your way to teach, coach and mentor these boys, often going beyond the call of duty to ensure their success. Ahsanteni sana!

And to you the boys: You did the heavy lifting; you put in the hours; you put in the energies; you allowed yourselves to be moulded and guided! Behold the fruits of your hard work!

The 2018 KCSE results were released on Friday, 21st December 2018. Strathmore School presented 84 candidates who registered 9.988 points (a performance index of 72.28) to emerge the best school nationally.

It was not only in academics where they have had a shining star. The 2018 class have proved themselves to be all round students. They have been good practically everywhere from the sports fields to extracurricular activities. From selfless service to the community to upholding an impeccable discipline record as a Form 4 class.
They had the highest number of performers in the 2018 school’s annual talent show. They excelled in basketball, soccer and rugby.

They played a key role in raking in trophies in 2017 music festivals where the school clinched the best private schools trophy at Masinde Muliro University. In 2018 the highlight was the quartet composed of 4 Form 4 boys who won the Quartet category and performed during the winners gala at Sagana State Lodge in Nyeri.
The Strathmore School Class of 2018 becomes the 2nd 8-4-4 Class to come top in the country after the Class of 2001.
Congratulations to Class of 2018!

The release of the 2016 KCSE results late last year generated a lot of interest. These were the most credible national examinations results in a long time. The highlights of the results were the reduced number of students who managed to score the aggregate A Grade and the decline in performance in a number of subjects including English, math and chemistry.

Despite all these odds, Strathmore School emerged the top school in the country in three subjects: math, English and French. This success was undoubtedly the fruit of the hard work of the candidates with the support of the parents and teachers who generously gave themselves.

The firm foundation that our students receive in Form 1 and 2 in English especially by inculcating the reading culture through the reading of English classics is largely responsible for the good performance in the subject. As any good teacher of English will tell you, success in productive skills in language: Speaking and writing is heavily dependent on receptive skills: reading and listening. The school’s investment in IT in the classrooms has also gone a long way in improving the teaching of languages. Students can now watch videos on speaking skills, oral literature and set books in class. This has contributed in the enhanced performance in English and French in the national exams.

For a long time now, Strathmore has been the top school in mathematics in KCSE examinations. This culture of excellence in mathematics has been maintained through the shaping of the attitudes of the students. The teachers of math have continuously inflamed the students with their passion for the subject. Even the students who might have joined the school with a defeatist attitude towards the subject have been transformed over time. Of course, this has been complemented with a lot of hard work on the part of the teachers and the students.

We cannot take this success for granted. We wish to thank the parents of these candidates for the support they gave their sons to realise these good results. Being a day school, Strathmore heavily relies on the support of the parents in ensuring that the students keep disciplined work habits at home, in ensuring that the students report to school on time and also by ensuring that the students welfare is generally well taken care of. Our parents have never disappointed us!

We also wish to thank the teachers who handled this class at all levels, right from Standard 1, for their gallant efforts. They did not labour in vain. And of course to the 2016 candidates for proving yet again that discipline, academic honesty and hard work pays.

We cannot forget the Ministry of Education led by Dr. Fred Matiangi and the Kenya National Examinations Council led by Prof. Magoha, himself a past student and past parent of Strathmore, for restoring integrity in our National examinations and giving hope to millions of Kenyan youth!

We wish our 2016 candidates and their families the best of luck as they move on to their next phase in life. You can count on our prayers and good will.
