The Education ministry has deregistered St Theresa Girls Senior School in Nakuru county over allegations of malpractice in KCSE examinations.
The offence was allegedly committed on November 9 and 10.
"It has been decided that the registration of your school be revoked with effect December 1, 2017," PS Belio Kipsang said in a letter on Monday.
Kipsang said the school should hand its certificate of registration to the county education board secretary.
"This should be done with immediate effect. Bring this information to the attention of parents at the school," he said.
The letter was copied to to Education Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i .
Earlier today, Matiangi warned private schools against engaging in cheating saying they will be de-registered. He said the ministry and Teachers Service Commission will also punish centre managers and examination officials found culpable.

The warning came a day after Kenya National Examination Council said six people had been charged with related offences.
They included three candidates, two of whom were found with mobile phones in school, and one who was found with exam material.
The others were a school principal, a teacher and an outsider who sent the teacher material purported to be part of this year's tests. The culprits were nabbed in Wajir, Trans Nzoia, Nairobi and Siaya counties.
