Moving From Grade 6 to Grade 7: What Parents in Utawala Should Know
Parents' Guide
Parents' Guide
Under the Competency-Based Curriculum, learners move from primary school, Grades 1 to 6, into Junior School, Grades 7 to 9, which many parents still call Junior Secondary School or JSS. For many families in Utawala and Mihang'o, this is the moment to decide whether to stay in the same school or change.
Start early. Visit the schools you are considering, confirm that the Junior Secondary section is registered by the Ministry of Education, and look at the facilities your child will use, such as the science laboratory and the computer lab. Ask about transport from your estate and plan for the costs of the next three years.
Talk to your child about the move as well. Children settle better when they know what to expect. At Lite View Junior Academy, learners can continue from Playgroup all the way to Grade 9 in one school. To discuss Grade 7 admission for January 2027, call 0729 809 368.
