Omega Primary School
Omega Primary School is a small school in Sinchu Sorrie, Kombo North, which is in the west coast region of The Gambia.
Established in 2015 the school’s aim is to give poorer children in the Sinchu Sorrie area an opportunity to attend school.
When we first visited the school in 2019 there were only 3 Nursery classes. Over the last few years the school has grown to approx. 380 students which has meant that the school has had to be located over 2 sites. With the school continuing to grow our latest project is to support the building of a new school for Omega. The ground floor has now been completed with 5 classrooms, toilets and offices. We are now, through our ‘Buy a Brick’ campaign raising funds to complete the first floor which will cost in the region of £25,000. If you would like more information about this latest campaign or would like to donate please click on the link below.
We continue to provide much needed school resources and equipment from tables and chairs to reading books, school bags, text books, craft items and pencil cases etc.
The school works closely with Spring of Life Primary School and during the last 12 months with our support the school has introduced a house system (Linked to Greenfield Primary School, Stourbridge), house prizes, student awards, reading awards, celebration assemblies and a new reporting system.
To improve maths results in the school we have provided the school with TT Rock Stars, a UK online maths programme. Omega is the only school in The Gambia to have access to this programme.
