While Westbourne celebrates another year of excellent GCSE results, one story is truly extraordinary. Year 6 pupil Harry Clark has achieved a Grade 9 and Grade 8 in GCSE Further Mathematics – results equivalent to A*. Harry has shown remarkable ability from a very young age. By the age of five he had already mastered trigonometry, and at just nine years old he sat his Foundation GCSE Maths papers, dropping only five marks across the entire set of exams. Alongside his talent, Harry impressed everyone by fitting in seamlessly with our Year 11 pupils as a well-liked and hardworking member of the class. His Maths teacher, Mr Biggane, said: “Harry has not only achieved the extraordinary, but as a Year 6 pupil he fitted in seamlessly with the Year 11s. It’s a well-deserved achievement after all his hard work – we are so proud of him.” Headteacher Mr Edmanson added: “Harry’s achievement is truly inspirational. He is a shining example of what can be achieved with curiosity, perseverance and the right support. We are immensely proud of him and excited to see what he accomplishes next.” Harry remains a happy young boy who enjoys running and watching Formula 1 – and from September, he will begin studying the A Level Mathematics syllabus. Congratulations, Harry – a truly inspiring achievement! 👏🎉 #GCSEResults #WestbourneSchool #AcademicExcellence #FutureMathematician #WestbourneProud Image
