TV’s ‘Child Genius’ adds to his star rating

A TEENAGER who gained fame on Channel 4’s Child Genius programme has added to his A-level success with two more A*s.

Thomas Frith, a 15-year-old student at Horsforth School, won the Channel 4 programme back in 2015 and since then has continued to acquire academic accolades.

He already has an A-level in Mathematics and Further Mathematics, both graded A* and an A Level in Computer Science (A). This year he has also added to these by gaining an A* in both Physics and Additional Further Mathematics.

Dr Paul Bell, headteacher at Horsforth School, added “Thomas’s academic achievements are outstanding especially as he is only just about to start Year 11.

“His future certainly looks bright and we are very proud of him.”

Three more students at the school are celebrating after opening the envelope containing their results.

Harita Patel, Nathan Strathdee and James Fiddes said they were thrilled to gain four A* grades in their A Level results.

Ms Patel will go on to study medicine at Newcastle University, Mr Strathdee will study engineering at The University of Sheffield and Mr Fiddes will study physics at Durham University.

Dr Bell added: “We are so proud of all our A Level students but especially Harita, Nathan and James. It just shows what hard work and dedication can achieve and to gain four A* grades at Alevel is exceptional.

“We are beyond proud and know that the students will go on to have very bright futures.”
