Several headteachers in Kampala have expressed gratitude following last week’s release of the 2025 Primary Leaving Examination (PLE) results, attributing their schools’ strong performance to hard work, parental support, and divine favor.

Speaking to journalists in Kampala, Mr. Kizito Joseph, headteacher of Sheehan Standard Day and Boarding Primary School, said the school’s impressive results were a reflection of teamwork between teachers, parents, and learners.

He thanked God for the achievement, noting that while some schools struggled, his institution performed well.

“I am so grateful to God for the results we got in the released Primary Seven examinations for last year. We also appreciate our teachers and the entire staff for their dedication. We performed highly because of the good relationship we have with the staff and the parents,” he said.

Mr. Kizito particularly commended parents for their cooperation, saying timely payment of school dues enabled smooth operations.

“I want to appreciate our parents who entrusted us with their children. They have been very supportive since their children joined Primary Seven. We encourage them to continue bringing learners to this school,” he added.

He also advised parents to choose secondary schools with strong values for their children. To pupils who passed, he urged good discipline in secondary school, and encouraged those who did not qualify to repeat, stressing that failure is not the end.

Meanwhile, Mr. Seruwu John, headteacher of Good Hope Primary School Nabulagala, also celebrated outstanding results.

“We are overwhelmed with joy. All our learners passed and can join Senior One. We only registered first and second grades. We thank God because He has been with us throughout the year,” he said.

He attributed their success to early preparation and timely completion of the syllabus, followed by extensive revision in Term II and III.

Mr. Seruwu encouraged parents to continue trusting the school and said they are ready to advise families on suitable secondary schools for their children.

According to the Ministry of Education, Senior One placement will take place on 12th and 13th February 2026, and Term One for secondary schools will begin on 2nd March 2026.
