WE PROVIDE the HIGHEST EDUCATION QUALITY SINCE 1949
OUR STORY
M.M.Shah Primary School began its humble academic journey back in 1922 with a small batch of 12 Asian girls within the Arya Samaj Building,gradually the number of pupils grew to 74 girls.By 1949 when it was then called Gujarati Girls School,it took its first group of girls to do the departmental examinations.As the school population grew in leaps and bounds,the Gujarati Asian community at that time under the influence of Mr.G.M.Vasani and other members raised a handsome sum of Shs.100,000;from the business community. They suggested a new name of the school as Shrimati Maniben Meghjibhai Shah Gujarati Girls School.With this amount of money collected the public spirit was aroused and more well wishers raised more funds.Then a new site was selected by the trustee committee of the school and a foundation stone was laid at the current site on 6th November 1955 by an education-loving and generous hearted man Mr. Chimanbhai Maganbhai Patel.The building was completed in early 1957 and its opening ceremony was officiated in a very befitting manner by th then Director of Education(Colonial times)Mr.W.J.D. Wadely on 31st March1957. Immediately after Kenya's Independence the word Gujarati was dropped and it acquired a new name as M.M.Shah Girls Primary School.Late in 1966 a batch of boys were admitted to the school for the first time so the school changed tis name once more to its current name M.M.Shah Primary School.Today the school population has risen from a paltry 12 girls back then to over 2000 pupils and from a humble staff of three teachers to slightly over 100 teachers now.Going hand in hand with a steady and sure rise in academic excellence,our school has been topping the academic charts for the last 30 years at County and national levels.Our K.C.P.E positions have constantly been oscillating between positions 1 to 4 every other year.It has been evident that our boys and girls have gone ahead to join premier national schools as well as provincial level schools,our old school alumni is rich with all sorts of professionals across the job continuum both locally and abroad,thus proving our academic prowess in this region of the country.Besides our pupils continuously scoop national awards in various academic and extra curricular disciplines.Our achievements have not been shy of the national media,with our pupils periodically being featured on Television and Print media being awarded trophies and garlanded for exemplary academic performance.This goes in tandem with our school motto:BEST ALL ROUND.
OUR STYLE
The future of the world is in our classrooms today.Our children today hold the future of our country and the rest of the world.That is why M.M.Shah Primary School early in its history recognized the value of the classroom and that individual child in it.The school administration,the Headmaster,the Deputy Headmistress and the entire Staff members have laid down a functional strategy to harness the power of the mind of each pupil right from early childhood(E.C.D) stage right up to class eight stage.Our most dedicated and committed staff members have identified that these children will play a most vital role in the future of human resource potential of our county,country and the rest of the world.They shall be the engines of scientific,economic,spiritual and social growth and development of the future. Because of this reason M.M.Shah Primary School offers a truly holistic education for each and every child in an atmosphere of kind care and supportive guidance to unleash the inner potentials of the child.
Our approach has made us consistently release to the society children who are truly BEST ALL ROUND in everything they put their minds and hands on,they have a MIDAS touch to everything they do in school and outside.
WHAT WE LOVE TO DO
At M.M Shah we love to teach,to dramatize and to sing and play.....!
Our pupils are not only known for academic excellence but they have talent as well.Our children have over the years participated in music and drama festivals,sports activities,scouting and many other extra curricular activities both at county and national levels no wonder our headmaster's office has not enough space for the avalanche of trophies we get from such activities every year.So its true that we are best all round.
