A Year 10 pupil at Teesside High School has scooped a further top grade in his A-levels - despite sitting the examination three years early.

Ed, 15, from Norton, has today secured an A grade in AS Further Mathematics - a subject usually studied in Year 12.

The exceptional young mathematician has already secured A* grades in all of his maths GCSEs, and completed the A-level in Mathematics last year, which much success. 

Ed joined Teesside High in 2019 from Crooksbarn Primary School, having already achieved the highest possible results in GCSE Mathematics (A*) in Year 5, and GCSE Statistics (9), GCSE Further Mathematics (A*) and Level 3 Additional Maths (A) in Year 6.

Ed said: “I feel extremely fortunate to have been given the opportunity to study Advanced level Maths at the same time as all of my other GCSE subjects.”

Kirsty Mackenzie, Head at Teesside High School, said: “Ed is one of the hardest working pupils I have ever met, and this result is no surprise!

"Ed has completed two of the toughest AS/A-level qualifications whilst excelling in all of his usual GCSE subjects. He is, without a doubt, a pleasure to teach and an asset to our school community. We cannot wait to see what next year will bring.”
