ACADEMICS
At Brainfield Academy, we use the Cambridge academic structure which ensures a robust and well-rounded learning journey. Our Nursery School is a fun and nurturing environment that introduces children to the basics of education. Our Primary school covers grades 1-6 and includes subjects such as Maths, English, French, Coding, and much more. Secondary school is from form 1-5 and at form 4, students have the opportunity to choose either the Arts, Science or Commercial stream. At form 5, students sit for the IGCSE, AS Level at form 6 and A Levels at form 7 in readiness for the world ahead of them.

Our commitment to providing a comprehensive and holistic education ensures that our students have the best possible start to their learning journey.
Junior High School
At Junior High School, students will progress from Form 1 to Form 3. During this time, all students will study the same core subjects, which include Mathematics, English, Sciences, Physical and Health Education as well as other subjects. Additionally, students may take part in a range of extracurricular activities such as sports, music, and art. Junior High School is an important time for students to develop their skills and knowledge, and to prepare for the transition to Senior High School.
Senior High School
At Senior High School, our students are presented with a range of wonderful opportunities. We offer Forms 4 and 5, where students can choose from either the Sciences, Arts or Commercial Streams at Form 4. At Form 5, students have the opportunity to write the IGCSE exams, which will give them the knowledge and skills to further their studies in higher education. We also have a range of extracurricular activities, which provide students with a well-rounded education.
Form 6
The 6th Form is a great opportunity for students to build on their knowledge and gain valuable skills for the future. Students can choose from a wide range of courses to suit their individual needs and interests. At the 6th Form, students will write the AS (Advanced Subsidiary) Levels exams, which will contribute to their overall qualifications. The school also offers a range of extra-curricular activities and support services to help them develop their skills and pursue their interests. In addition, the school provides pastoral care to help the students develop their confidence and self-esteem. Finally, the 6th Form also offers guidance and support for students to help them make informed decisions about their future.
Form 7
The 7th form is the final year of secondary school as with the Cambridge curriculum structure. During this year, students are preparing for their A (Advanced) Level exams. This type of exam is the main requirement for entrance into most universities in the Gambia and other countries. Students will be expected to demonstrate a high level of knowledge and understanding in their chosen subjects, as well as the ability to think critically and apply their knowledge. They may also need to develop key study skills to ensure success in their examinations. In addition, students will need to be able to manage their time effectively in order to balance their studies with their other commitments. With the right preparation, students can ensure their success in their A Level exams and subsequently in their higher education studies.
