Kirigu Primary

Kirigu Primary School, located in the Mutuini area of Dagoretti South, Nairobi, is a mixed-gender public day school dedicated to providing accessible basic education under the oversight of the local government. As of 2025, the school serves a population of approximately 641 students—comprising 338 boys and 303 girls—and maintains a teaching staff of 15, resulting in a student-teacher ratio of roughly 43:1. Physically, the institution consists of 16 classrooms and has recently undergone critical emergency renovations to its facilities to better accommodate its growing enrollment and ease student congestion. Academically, the school follows the Kenyan national curriculum, progressively transitioning its lower grades into the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) while previously maintaining a reputation for steady academic achievement in comparison to neighboring institutions. Managed under the Nairobi City County’s educational framework, the school continues to benefit from ongoing infrastructure projects, such as the construction of new blocks and sanitation facilities initiated by the NG-CDF to ensure a conducive learning environment for the community.
