About Madabani Primary School
Our history, vision, mission, and values
Our History
Madabani Primary School has a proud and deeply rooted heritage that spans more than six decades. Established in 1957, the school originally operated under the name Madabani Primary Junior, offering only Foundation Phase education. With just 40 learners, two dedicated educators, Ms. Bugana and Ms. Maraga, and under the leadership of the pioneering first principal, Mr. V. Fambe, the school laid the foundation for what would become a centre of learning for generations.
In 1961, a major transformation took place when Madabani Junior merged with Muraleni Primary School. This significant merger led to the establishment of Madabani Primary School as it is known today. Over the years, the school expanded its academic offering, infrastructure, and community footprint, responding to the growing educational needs of the region.
Today, Madabani Primary School stands as a beacon of hope, academic excellence, and community pride. With a rich legacy and forward-looking vision, the school continues to nurture young minds and empower learners to become responsible, confident, and successful individuals.
