Girl, 14, gets A*s and 9s in 9 months

A GIRL aged 14 has made a clean sweep of A*s and 9s despite only starting the course last September.

Amanda Do arrived from Vietnam in 2016, joining a comprehensive school in Year 8. She moved to Francis Holland independent school and was fast-tracked to Year 11 with a full scholarship. While taking an undergraduate module in physics and writing four novels, she tackled her GCSES in just nine months.

She also sang in the school’s chamber choir, designed robots, won a national maths championship and performed her own music on piano in the school talent show.

“I’m looking forward to studying maths, further maths, biology and chemistry at A-level and going to university to study biochemistry,” Amanda said. “There are so many medical issues I would like to research. I am also constructing a new language.”
