Thiru Pry School is a public primary school located in Marmanet Ward, Laikipia County in Kenya. It was established in 1978. The school is an integrated and mixed type of institution that has an enrollment of about 700 children between the ages of 6-15 years old.

As a rural primary school serving many pupils from a big community surrounding it, the schools facilities have been stretched beyond limit and it was in this spirit that this school qualified to be a beneficiary of the TTFalls Foundation Inc. to help improve its current condition.
