Maths Wonderkids

I was on holiday when I got my results…that’s all I’m going to say. Anyways, I really love these stories of damn near embryonic kids (okay I lied…these ones are 8) getting A Levels and suchlike so I thought I should share this. Take note Gordon Brown…someone is coming for your spot!

Eight-year-old twins from Berkshire have passed an A-level advanced mathematics exam.

Peter and Paula Imafidon, who attend Calcot Junior School in Reading, took the University of Cambridge’s advanced mathematics paper.

Peter, who got a C, said he wanted to become a “successful prime minister” and Paula, who achieved a B, said she wanted to be a maths teacher.

They have three older sisters who also passed maths exams at an early age.

The twins sat the exam after taking part in an Excellence in Education programme.
