Midday Sun - 'He enforced strict discipline, wielded the cane, lived for his job and kindled in his pupils an abiding interest in the wildlife of a countryside as yet undefiled.

Horizon - Frank Cramb, the headmaster-founder of Kenton was a remarkable man. An ex-Regular Army officer and one time adjutant of the Black Watch, he was a martinet but a great leader. Perhaps by present day standards his methods were harsh ....... boxing was compulsory, twice weekly. ..... the school isolated on the eastern confines of the Great Rift Valley. The school building had once been a German owned hotel, built in the pattern of a schloss, and commanded one of the finest views in EA. It was 10 miles from railhead and 20 miles from the nearest village. ..... 40 boys .... F.R. Cramb was no tyrant; he was a disciplinarian. He was a brilliant scholar and a notable athlete of White City standard and held the British record for the pole vault.

Pembroke - '… when Cramb retired in 1946 and a new Headmaster reigned at Kenton, matches between the two schools became more regular.

Nicholls - One of the headmasters of Kenton, Captain F.R. Cramb, had won an MC in the First World War so Kenton boys had blazers striped in purple and white, the colours of the award.

Old Africa 4 - F.R. Cramb MA, MC went to look at Kijabe Hill Sanatorium. His teaching job at the Grange at Lumbwa had vanished when the headmaster stole the school's advance fees. Cramb walked the dusty trail from Kijabe Railway station to look at the building. Hot and tired 'he stood on the verandah of a fine two-storied building in beautiful but then neglected, and pulling aside the curtaining creeper, peered through the window into the interior,' and immediately decided it would do for a school. He called it Kenton, the name gived the land when it had belonged to the Dawson family, and opened his school in 1925. There was great excitement among the students when a lion made a kill on the playing field. …………. In 1936 ……… Mr Cramb to find another place for the school. He moved Kenton to the Kileleshwa area outside Nairobi, then uninhabited except for herds of wild game - Brian Stutchbury

Old Africa 4 Tim Hutchinson writes - In 1924 Capt. Finlay Ross Cramb opened Kenton School with 12 pupils amongst whom were Ken Cunningham, Rex Kirk, Hugh Lloyd, Eddy Sladen, Jim Nightingale and Pat Lawford. The school moved to Nairobi in 1934. Cramb had a distinguished career in the Gordon Highlanders winning a Military Cross, and was also Mentioned in Despatches. He was in Kericho in 1920 but I have not been able to establish whether he was on the Beadoc Soldier Settler Scheme for the War wounded. He then taught for a while at the Grange School in Lumbwa before moving to Kijabe where he had W. Jesse as a partner. It is alleged that he lost an eye on the tennis court doing battle with Harold Turner who broke away to start Pembroke School at Gilgil. Cramb returned to the UK in 1947 and died there in 1962
