Jumping for joy at early GCSE success

A GROUP of high-flying students are celebrating after passing a GCSE two years early - and in just half the time.

Some of the Year 9 GCSE Business and Communications Systems group at Trinity Academy in Thorne were just 13 when they took the exam. Nine of the 83 students who passed achieved an A grade while three achieved the highest A* grade.

A* student Thomas Boucher added: “It has made me feel more confident towards my next exams because I know what to expect now.”
