School announcements, academic milestones, sports fixtures, admissions notices and occasional reflections from the staff room.
Hillcrest has been noted for strong national examination performance — at times leading the sub-county in KCPE results. Behind that headline sits something far less glamorous: diagnostic testing in week one, small remedial groups by week three, and honest conversations with parents every single term.
This term we are extending the same approach to the lower grades, so that gaps are found early rather than in Grade 6.
Our Academics
Sports
Our junior athletes competed in the inter-school term games, coming home with medals and — more importantly — with a team that supported each other from the first heat to the last.

Academics
Every class took part in our reading drive. Seniors read to the juniors, the library stayed open late, and each child chose a book to take home at the end of the week.

Admissions
Admissions run on a rolling basis, with interviews structured for specific grade levels. Places are tightest in Kindergarten and PP1 — early enquiry is strongly advised.

Early Years
Classes in the early years are organised into small groups for one reason: so teachers can address individual needs, nurture talent and foster cooperation from a young age.

Transport
Following parent feedback, we have adjusted several afternoon routes and fixed pick-up points. The updated timetable is available from the school office.

Staff
Our teachers take part in ongoing professional development — CBC delivery, assessment design and classroom management — so that methods keep pace with the curriculum.
About UsResults open doors, but character decides what a child does once inside. We treat moral education as a timetabled subject, not an afterthought.
A test should tell a teacher what to teach next. If an assessment does not change what happens in the following week, it was not worth setting.
The strongest predictor of a child's progress is an involved home. Our reporting meetings are deliberately early, specific and honest.
