Nyatambe Secondary School is listed as a C3 public mixed boarding senior school in Suba sub-county, Homa Bay County, Kenya, for the 2026 intake. This updated profile explains the school’s current listed name and code, location, KCSE examinations, Grade 10 selection, school fees and reliable ways to verify contacts. The article also distinguishes dated register information from historical details that may have changed.
School identity and 2026 senior-school details
- School: Nyatambe Secondary School

- Area: Owich sub-location, Gwassi South, near Magunga
- 2026 senior-school cluster: C3
- Ownership: Public

The 2019 entry spells the name “Nyatembe”. Current senior-school records use “Nyatambe”; the identical Magunga post box 51, the Gwassi South locality and an older school code A6100461 provide a strong cross-match. The 2026 register identifies a C3 mixed boarding school, whereas the older school directory described a mixed day school. The 2026 classification is dated, and present boarding arrangements should be reconfirmed.
Physical location, visitor directions and postal address
The school is associated with Owich sub-location, Gwassi South, near Magunga in Homa Bay County. The old directory gives P.O. Box 51–40307, Magunga as a mailing address. A post-box town does not necessarily mark the school campus, and earlier post-office details may have been replaced. Visitors should request up-to-date directions to the entrance from the administration, especially when travelling for an admission interview, reporting day or document collection.
For families considering Nyatambe, the shift from the old day-school description to the 2026 boarding listing is particularly significant. Before buying uniforms, bedding or personal items, request a current joining letter and confirmation of dormitory facilities, guardians’ visiting rules and the approved fee tier.
Telephone number, email address and school website
A current school-operated telephone number, official email address and verified school website have not been independently authenticated for this update. Parents should obtain the latest contact details directly from Nyatambe Secondary School or the relevant Sub-county Director of Education. Some old school directories contain commercial offers for website or email services; these are not school-issued contact details. Avoid paying into an unverified account or sharing sensitive learner information through a number copied from an old listing.
KCSE results and KNEC examination information
The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) administers the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education examinations. Candidates should follow the instructions for their examination year and collect official result slips through the school or examination centre at which they sat the examinations. The 2026 senior-school directory lists 41709205 as this school’s KNEC code. The learner should confirm that it matches their official examination or school record before requesting results.
Historical enrolment and staff figures circulating online date to old school datasets and should not be treated as present figures. A recent authenticated KCSE school mean and candidate count were not established.
A reliable academic-performance comparison requires a named KCSE examination year, the number of candidates and a verified grade distribution. A score quoted without an examination year, or results from another school with a similar name, should not be treated as confirmed performance.
Grade 10 admission, placement and subject combinations
Kenya’s Competency-Based Education system allows Grade 9 learners to select senior-school options and subject combinations across STEM, Social Sciences and Arts and Sports Science. The Ministry of Education Grade 10 Selection and Placement System is the official starting point for checking school choices, placements and joining information. Families should identify Nyatambe Secondary School by its registered name and KNEC code 41709205 or UIC 6CJP where these identifiers are displayed.
A subject-combination selection should be made against the official Ministry search for KNEC 41709205; the researched school profile did not establish an authoritative list of every current offering. Do not assume its C3 designation makes every pathway or combination available.
Learners should choose subjects based on their interests and abilities and make sure the selected combination is actually available at the school for the intended intake. A school cluster does not, by itself, establish that every pathway or subject combination is offered. Selection deadlines and placement announcements change between years; use official circulars instead of older Form One or KCPE application instructions.
Current fees, joining instructions and reporting requirements
The current school-issued fee circular, joining letter and approved payment details have not been independently checked. Ask for a dated package covering uniforms, books, reporting dates, meals, transport where applicable, and accommodation arrangements and required boarding supplies. Government-wide fee guidelines are not individual school invoices, and additional permitted expenses should be confirmed in writing before money is paid.

School-specific research source and limitations
The 2026 classification, codes and school identity are supported by this school-specific directory entry, which reflects a Ministry-derived senior-school register. It is not itself an official school registration certificate and does not verify current fee invoices, contact details, exact school gates or vacancies. The school and Ministry-issued documents remain the reliable sources for consequential decisions.
