Review of Murchison Bay Primary School

Hello,

My name is Joseph Nsubuga and I attended Murchison Bay primary school from 1986 to 1989 for my primary leaving Examinations (PLE). I passed in Division one to my surprise!

This school is situated inside Luzira Prisons, on the lower end of the facility, lying between the Murchison Bay Hospital and the lower prisons staff quarters. Ideally, the school was meant for school going children of the prisons officers and others workers, but somehow allowed (and still admits) children from the larger community of Luzira, Bbiina, Kirombe, Butabika and as far as Kitintale and Mutungo. I personally resided in BBiina.

In my years, the academic performance was good with some exceptionally bright pupils.The pupils from M/Bay spoke perfect English where counterparts from neighboring schools normally struggled to express themselves in proper English. The school was also very good at sports, excelling in netball, football and junior athletics - probably due to the good sporting culture of the Prisons Service.
