Results for the KCPE (Kenyan Certificate of Primary
Education) Exam taken in November by our Standard 8 students have been
released! Sponsors can find results for
their sponsored children under the “Files” section of the private Yahoo Group
(just click “GPS End of Term and Exam Results – 2013 KCPE Results”). The highest scoring sponsored student at Galilee Primary School was Victoria, with a score of 386.

Her sponsor, Anette, writes: "Wow, I am so happy for Victoria! Her hard work and aspiration made her hit her goal. My heartfelt congratulations to Victoria and the teachers and school, who altogether made that success possible!"

We are all proud of Victoria! A student’s score on the KCPE determines whether he or she
is eligible for admission to secondary school.
Students can earn a maximum 500 marks on the exam. For
reference, the Kenyan government reports that 49.71% of Kenyan students nationally achieved the mean socre of 250 marks. The highest score achieved by any student in Kenya was 444 marks.
Waddington High School requires a minimum KCPE score of 240 marks
for admission. Therefore, GPS students
who have achieved this minimum score will be moving into Form 1 at WHS this
month. GPS students scoring less than
240 points on the KCPE are invited to repeat Standard 8 this year and retake
the exam at the end of 2014. Repeating
Standard 8 is not uncommon in Kenya.
Term 3 Grades
We have also received Term 3 grades for both GPS and WHS students. Sponsors can find grades for their sponsored
children under the “Files” section of the private Yahoo Group. Grades for GPS students are listed under “GPS
End of Term and Exam Results – GPS 3rd Term Results” and grades for
WHS students are listed under “LWHS Exam Results – 2013 F1/2/3 3rd
Term Results.”
Still Waiting on KCSE Results
Please note that we are still waiting for results from the
Kenyan Government for the KCSE (Kenyan Certificate of Secondary Education) Exam. Therefore, there are no grades currently listed
for WHS Form 4 students. We will update
you as soon as scores for the sponsored Form 4 children are available.
Writing to Your Sponsored Child
When writing your next letter to your sponsored child, you
may want to take the opportunity to comment on their academic performance. If they have done well, congratulate them on
their success. If they have shown
improvement, tell them that you are proud of their efforts. If they failed to pass the KCPE Exam or there
has been a dip in their grades, encourage them to focus on their studies and
let them know that you believe in them. The
words of a sponsor can have a great motivating effect on our Nairobi Kids, so
please reach out and encourage them to achieve their personal best!
Please contact info@plantabook.org for more information
or help locating test scores or grades for your sponsored child.
