Chigumukire Catholic Primary

Chigumukire Catholic Primary is a Catholic full primary school at Chileka, in Blantyre District in southern Malawi. Its postal address is P.O. Box 138, Chileka. The Malawi Electoral Commission's 2025 register of centres lists "Chigumukire F.P. School" as a polling centre in the Chileka-Chikowa ward of the Blantyre West constituency, in the section for Blantyre District Council; "F.P." marks a full primary school. The same register names Chigumukire TDC (teacher development centre) as the tally centre for the Blantyre West constituency. A full primary school covers all eight years of primary education, Standard 1 to Standard 8, ending with the Primary School Leaving Certificate of Education (PSLCE), set by the Malawi National Examinations Board (MANEB). Many Malawian primary schools were founded by churches, the Catholic Church among them, and keep a church name while forming part of the national school system. Tuition has been free in government primary schools since 1994. Chileka, north-west of Blantyre, is the site of the city's international airport, about 13 kilometres from Blantyre by road. It falls under Blantyre District Council, which governs the rural district around the city, rather than under Blantyre City Council. The school has not published a telephone number, fees or term dates online, so it is worth asking locally before travelling.
