A Darlington student has scooped an award for achieving the best GCSE marks in his school.
The Lloyds Bank Trophy is awarded every year at Hurworth School Computing and Maths College for outstanding performance in examinations.
This year's winner is 16-year-old James Chapman, who gained nine A* and two A grades.
James, who lives in Darlington, said: "I'm quite proud really and I was really pleased to win it."
He is now studying at Queen Elizabeth Sixth Form College in Darlington, where he is taking A-levels in geography, history, computing and media.
