Adam Watney, who attended Sir Isaac Newton Sixth Form in Norwich, earned the best score in the entire country in further maths in his A Levels.

The 18-year-old, who dreams of one day starting his own company, is now heading to the University of Cambridge to study maths after earning three A*s in maths, further maths and physics.

But despite his unmatched result, he insisted he couldn't possibly call himself the best.

He said: "I know there are plenty of people out there my age that are better than me at maths, so it is very weird to know my score was the highest.

"I have always loved maths, ever since I was in primary school, and I chose to do it because there are always plenty of career paths I could follow. I find it really satisfying"

The maths wizard was the main success story at Sir Isaac Newton, which saw 85pc of students achieve grades A* to C.

Elsewhere in Norwich, a trio of students at Norwich High School for Girls went from starring at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe to becoming star pupils.
