Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta management deemed it worthwhile that the University Staff School be established to enable the staff of the University send their children and wards to a Nursery and Primary School with the intention of giving them qualitative education. Non-staff who wish to send their children to the school are allowed provided that they meet up with the requirements.

The school was conceived by Prof. Nimbe Adedipe, the first substantive Vice-Chancellor and was opened for admission of pupils and commencement of academic activities by Prof. Julius A. Okojie on Monday 6th October, 1997 under the Committee Management of Dr. (Mrs.) P.O. Fayemi as the Chairperson.

The school started with One hundred and six (106) pupils for Nursery I, II, and Primary 1 with Mrs. E.A. Popoola as the Headmistress, Mrs. O.B. Barnabas as the Assistant Headmistress, four class teachers, one teaching assistant and two administrative staff. The school has been waxing stronger since inception in 1997.

The school is administered by 41 seasoned and qualified teaching staff, 6 class attendants.

The current Head Teacher is Mrs. Florence B. Alade while Mrs. Margaret O. Olukehinde and Mrs. V.O. Ammeh are the Assistant Head Teachers.

It is good to inform you that our pupils’ performances in common entrance examinations into secondary schools have always proved the high standard of the school. The pupils are admitted into secondary schools of their choice after writing the entrance examinations which shows that their performances in the entrance examination are impressive.

In fact, some good secondary schools have been coming to request to have our pupils in their schools. Also, it is pertinent to note that we have not gone to any competition without coming back with a prize.

The school is situated in a serene environment, away from the noise, hustling and bustling of the city. The school has an effective and reliable bus service that conveys pupils to school and drop at various bus points. The school has a functional and well-equipped computer laboratory with a stable internet facility.

The colour of the school uniform is Green and Yellow which are the official colours of the University.
