About

This is who we are

Nakasero Primary, founded in 1922, is one of Kampala's oldest government-aided primaries. It sits a few minutes' walk from State House and the Parliamentary Avenue, and its alumni roster runs deep across the civil service.

A message

From the head teacher

A century of teaching the city's children is the inheritance we steward. We aim to be the affordable, accountable, quietly excellent option Kampala has always needed.

The Praecip verdict

A century-old government-aided anchor, affordable, dependable, crowded

What stands out

Nakasero is the value-pick on this list. Class sizes are larger and facilities older, but the PLE division-I rate at this fee bracket is genuinely competitive with schools charging four times more.

Where it falters

Families weighting affordability + Kampala proximity + a serious teaching cadre choose Nakasero and tend to stick with it. It will not, however, look or feel like a private school.
