Loreto High School, Matunda, is a public girls’ boarding secondary school located in Uasin Gishu County.
The institution is a Catholic-founded school classified as a C2 category school, formerly known as an Extra-County school, under the Ministry of Education’s revised institutional classification.
It serves learners drawn primarily from Uasin Gishu County and neighbouring regions. In line with ongoing education reforms, the school transitioned to Loreto High School Matunda Senior School under the Competency-Based Education (CBE) framework.
From January 2026, the institution began admitting Grade 10 learners, offering specialised pathways in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), Social Sciences, and Arts and Sports, in line with the CBE structure.
Admissions into the senior school from January 2026 are determined by learner performance in the Kenya Junior Secondary Education Assessment (KJSEA).
This marked a shift from earlier placement systems, as admissions had previously been based on the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) examination until 2023.
The KCPE system was phased out following the introduction of the Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA) under the CBE framework.
