The older directory described mixed boarding, while the 2026 senior-school register classifies it as mixed day; parents should confirm current accommodation directly.
Where the school is located
Earlier mapping information identifies Eshisiru in the Butsotso Central locality of Lurambi, Kakamega. This is distinct from Butere-area schools whose names contain Shikunga or Muyundi. Confirm the present school gate and directions before visiting.
Postal details: Historic school record: P.O. Box 1993, Kakamega; confirm before use. 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 St. Thomas Aquinas Secondary School – Eshisiru.
KCSE examination results and performance
The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) administers the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education. St. Thomas Aquinas Secondary School – Eshisiru is listed under KNEC centre code 37603102 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.
The archived school-results directory reports a KCSE mean of 4.790 for 62 candidates in 2009 and 3.887 for 62 candidates in 2008. These historical figures do not establish how the school performed recently and are not new KNEC-issued result records.
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.
An October 2026 directory snapshot lists twelve Grade 10 combinations: six STEM, three Social Sciences and three Arts and Sports Science. These include Biology, Chemistry and Physics; Business Studies, Geography and History and Citizenship; and General Science, Sports and Recreation and Theatre and Film. Check actual openings in the Ministry portal.
Subject combinations and placements can change with an admission cycle. Check the school’s current availability against code 37603102 or UIC TW9K, 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
Because the older school listing and the 2026 classification disagree over boarding, confirm attendance arrangements before purchasing bedding or paying accommodation charges. Confirm the reporting date and approved fee circular for the intended year.
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 C4 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.
