Harry Thew, who took the exam in Year 6 at Bede Academy in Blyth, Northumberland, said his performance was ‘quite good’.
An 11-year-old boy took his maths GCSE five years early – and achieved the highest grade possible.
The schoolboy, who has reached grade 5 in drums and also plays piano, can complete a Rubix cube puzzle in 12 seconds and competes at national level. “We gave him a Sat paper in Year 2 and he passed it, so they gave him another at school to check and he passed that as well.” “It wasn’t because we wanted him to do it, it was Harry who wanted to do it. When he was asked why, he said ‘why not?’.”
