Nairobi School

Nairobi School is a national secondary school in Nairobi, Kenya. It was founded in earlier than 1910 by the British settlers who had made Nairobi their home after the construction of the Uganda Railway. In 1925 Lord Delamere and Sir Edward Grigg, then Governor of Kenya, decided to separated the the European Nairobi Schoolinto a senior boys school (Prince of Wales School), senior girls school(Kenya High School) and a junior school (Nairobi Primary School). In 1931 a new school was built at the site at Kabete, the main school buildings being designed by Herbert Baker. The school was then renamed the Prince of Wales School, but following Kenya's independence the school was renamed Nairobi School in 1965. In July 2008, the school was closed for the first time ever to avert a student strike.

'Old Boys' of the school are called Old Cambrians, and the Alumni web site can be found at www.oldcambrians.com
