Kipsigis Girls is a national girls' boarding secondary school which found at Kakeptui sub- location, Kapsurer location, Belgut constituency in Kericho county. This is approximately five kilometres from Kericho town. This school was founded in 1955 as an African Girls Boarding School with only one stream of classes.

The school started with 140 students only. In 1965, it was elevated to a secondary status. The "A" class was launched in 1970 and the first class sat their East African Certificate of Education Examination (EACE) in 1971.

Later, the institution expanded to two streams. In 1986, the 'A' system was phased out, paving the way for the 8-4-4 system. Since then, there has been a steady growth of the student population and the school ha relentless continued to record high academic performances.

The school prides itself in producing an all-round girl. The girls participate actively in many co-curricular activities like ball games, sports, scouting, St John Movement, music, drama, among others. The management encourages all the students to remember the importance of commitment to their studies.

Last year, the school produced the best candidate in the under-16 category in the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examinations in Brenda Cheruiyot who got A (87 points).

The school was also in the news after the girls went on the rampage to protest over poor diet occasioned by the transfer of their long term principal Julian Kirui.

It was said that the students did not like the new principal who had been posted there by the Teachers Service Commission after she brought in new rules including changing the school diet. The strike led to an indefinite closure of the school for a few months.

It is said that Kirui used to treat the girls well by giving them sumptuous meals including chapatis, pilau and meat at least thrice a week. The principal also ensured that most of the food including vegetables was well cooked and fried.

Students always look forward to weekends especially Sundays when they could interact with guest preachers from outside the school for spiritual nourishment.

The administration also ensured that the girls were well catered for psychologically by bringing on board entertainers such as acrobatics, motivational speakers, counselors and actors, among others.

Former students who were guided by the school motto ""Education is the Fountain of Knowledge" include Florence Bore, the Cabinet Secretary for Labour and Social Protection, Asha Sigei, chief pathologist in the United States, Irene Njogu, a lecturer at Kenyatta University, Winnie Langat, a graduate assistant, Biochemistry and Biotechnology at The Technical University of Kenya and Sarah Serem, former chair of Salaries and Remuneration Commission.
