Form 1 students here are mostly Grade 7 graduates from the nearby Samambwa Primary School, a few from Somapani Primary School and Mangwarangwara Primary School which are both about 7 km away.

A good number of O'Level graduates from here go to either Sidakeni High School or Nyaradzo High School for a further two years in A'Level education.
