Mambrui Private Secondary School in Magarini Constituency, Kilifi County, has recorded excellent performance in the 2025 KCSE national examinations, with the top student scoring an A plain (81 points) while the second-best candidate attained an A minus (77 points).
Speaking while celebrating the results, the school principal, Ms. Halima Omar, attributed the success to teamwork, commitment, and discipline within the school.
“These results are a product of strong cooperation between our teachers, the school board, and disciplined students. When everyone plays their role, success becomes inevitable,” said Ms. Halima.
She noted that the school has maintained good performance over the years and continues to support bright students from humble backgrounds.
“Every year, we sponsor needy but bright students because we believe education is the best way to uplift our community,” she added.
Ms. Halima further appealed to both the county and national governments to support students who perform well academically.
“We urge the county and national governments to come in and sponsor students from humble backgrounds so that their dreams of higher education are not cut short,” she said.
The school’s Head of Academics, Mr. Peter Mumo Manoti, revealed that Mambrui Secondary School had a total of 83 candidates who sat for the KCSE examination.
“So far, we have received results for 20 students out of the 83 candidates. The best student scored an A plain with 81 points for the first time,while the second-best scored an A minus with 77 points,” said Mr. Mumo.
He expressed optimism that the school’s overall mean grade would improve compared to the previous year.
Mr. Mumo congratulated teachers, students, and the school board for their dedication and teamwork.
“I want to thank our teachers for their tireless efforts, the board for their support, and our students for their discipline and commitment,” he said.
He also noted that students previously sponsored by the school have continued to excel even after secondary education.
“Some of our sponsored students have gone on to achieve First Class Honors at Egerton University, and others have secured scholarships to study in the United Kingdom,” Mr. Mumo noted.
One of the top performers, Khaula Abukakar Salim, who scored an A plain, expressed joy and gratitude for her achievement.
“I thank God for this success. It would not have been possible without the support of my teachers, the school board, and encouragement from my fellow students,” said Khaula.
She said her dream is to join the University of Nairobi to pursue a degree in medicine.
“I want to study medicine because I am inspired by doctors who dedicate their lives to serving and saving others,” she said.
Khaula also encouraged girls in Magarini Constituency to remain focused on education.
She further appealed to well-wishers and sponsors to support bright students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
“I will be very grateful to receive sponsorship to enable me to continue with my university education,” she added.
