TWINS Krishan and Jai-hin Patel are celebrating scoring a clean sweep of A*s in their GCSE exams, gaining 10 a piece between them.
The 16-year-old, from Old Marston, in Oxford, both attend the city’s independent boys’ school Magdalen College School.
Krishan said it was an “amazing” achievement for the pair who conducted revision sessions together and pushed each other to make the grade in their weakest subjects.
He said: “It was great to get a clean sweep.
“It felt so good – I wasn’t expecting to 10A*s.
Krishan, who picked up his results at the school this morning, passed exams in English, English literature, maths, biology, chemistry, physics, French, history, Latin and Spanish.
His brother, who is currently playing cricket for Oxfordshire County in Jersey, took the same exams apart from studying geography rather than Spanish.
The boys’ school has its own new record with the number of A* grades at 76 per cent. Nearly a quarter of the 104 boys in the year group achieved 10 or more A*s.
