The 2026 senior-school register names this public institution Ibinzo Girls Secondary School, C3 girls’ boarding, with KNEC 37603109 and UIC PG2U. It must not be confused with Ibinzo Primary School or Ibinzo Special Unit, which are separate educational settings in the same area.
Where the school is located
School location data places Ibinzo Girls in Shibuli sub-location, Butsotso South within Lurambi, Kakamega County. The historic postal address was P.O. Box 263 in Kakamega; ask the administration to confirm its current mailing details and directions.
Postal details: Older school record: P.O. Box 263, Kakamega; confirm whether current. A school postal address may belong to a neighbouring town and does not locate the current school gate. Ask the school for directions and confirm its current address before travelling or sending original documents.
How to reach the administration
A current independently authenticated school-operated telephone number, official email address or school website was not established for this update. The school’s office or the appropriate Sub-county Director of Education should confirm available contact channels. Older public lists sometimes include a former principal’s personal contact, which should not be presented as a currently verified school number.
Use confirmed school contact details before sharing identification documents, examination particulars or making admission payments. In particular, a school website developer’s contact number is not the school’s own contact. Request a signed joining letter and payment instructions issued by Ibinzo Girls Secondary School.
KCSE examination results and performance
The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) administers the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education. Ibinzo Girls Secondary School is listed under KNEC centre code 37603109 in the referenced senior-school list. KNEC’s official KCSE guidance states that candidates obtain their result slips through the schools at which they sat the examinations.
Archived school-result records report a 2010 KCSE mean of 4.512 for 43 candidates, compared with 4.200 in 2009 for 35 candidates. These are dated school-result records and not the school’s current KCSE results.
When comparing schools, a mean score needs a named examination year, number of candidates and source. A result from 2008 or 2010 must never be presented as a current result. For up-to-date school performance, request a dated grade breakdown from the administration and follow the year’s official KNEC announcements.
Grade 10 admission and subject combinations
Kenya’s Competency-Based Education transition uses Grade 10 pathways: STEM, Social Sciences, and Arts and Sports Science. A learner’s subject choices and the schools available for them should be checked through the official Selection and Placement System. The school’s registered identity and identifier are important because other institutions may have similar names.
The 15 October 2026 selection snapshot lists eleven combinations across STEM (five), Social Sciences (four), and Arts and Sports Science (two). Examples include Agriculture, Biology and Chemistry; Business Studies, Geography and History and Citizenship; and General Science, Sports and Recreation and Theatre and Film. Verify current places and approved subjects for the intended intake.
Subject combinations and placements can change with an admission cycle. Check the school’s current availability against code 37603109 or UIC PG2U, then follow the Ministry-issued placement result and school-specific joining instructions. A listing of a particular subject combination does not guarantee a space in it.
School fees, day or boarding requirements
As a girls’ boarding school in the current register, it is important to check accommodation arrangements, reporting dates, required personal items, welfare contacts and the current signed fee circular. Older directories sometimes described a mix of day and boarding; current capacity requires direct confirmation.
A verified current fee circular, payment account and required items list have not been independently confirmed for this school. Public school fee rules may set ceilings or funding allocations, but they are not an individual fee invoice. Request written instructions identifying approved school charges, uniforms, books, meals, travel needs and boarding items where applicable.

School-specific evidence and verification note
The details about C3 classification, learner intake, accommodation, KNEC code and UIC were cross-checked against this school-specific senior-school directory entry. It reproduces Ministry-derived school information and identifies its data years, but it is not itself a government website. It does not certify current fees, current school phone numbers, vacancies or the specific admission letter for a learner.
For any consequential admission or financial decision, the current Ministry portal and documents issued by the school take priority. This guide should be reviewed again when the school publishes new official details.
