Nestled in the vibrant community of Greater Portmore, St. Catherine, Kensington Primary School stands as a beacon of educational excellence and community pride. Since our founding in September 1996, we have been dedicated to nurturing young minds and fostering academic achievement in one of Jamaica's most dynamic residential areas.
What began as a modest institution with 125 students has blossomed into a premier educational establishment serving over 1,300 students from kindergarten through grade six. Under the dedicated leadership of Principal Miss Christine Hamilton, our school has consistently demonstrated exceptional academic performance, earning recognition from the National Educational Inspectorate with top ratings that reflect our unwavering commitment to educational excellence.
Our impressive track record speaks volumes about our educational approach, with students achieving a remarkable 99-100% average in Grade Four Literacy assessments and an outstanding 84% average on the Grade Six Achievement Test. These achievements reflect not only the hard work of our students but also the dedication of our teaching staff and the strong support of our school community.
At Kensington Primary, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential. Through our comprehensive curriculum, supportive learning environment, and strong community partnerships, we continue to uphold our founding principles while preparing our students for success in secondary education and beyond.
