Buckingham Pneuma Academy, an international high school in The Gambia following the Cambridge International Examination (CIE) syllabus, celebrated its students' outstanding academic achievements and graduation on Friday 22 August, 2025. The event marked another milestone in the school's growing reputation for excellence.

Speaking at the ceremony, Headmistress Mrs Siaba Phillott Williams expressed pride in the students' performance and the continued development of the institution.
