A schoolgirl from Richmond has passed her GCSE maths with flying colours – at just 10 years old. Allegra Andrews, from St Margarets, put her time over lockdown to good use by studying to take the national qualification ahead of her peers. The Year 6 student achieved a five - the highest grade possible – in an exam typically taken by pupils in Year 11. The young maths whizz said that she has loved numbers from “the get-go.” “I found my schoolwork quite easy, so I thought I would challenge myself by taking the GCSE.” She embarked on an intensive self-learning programme, of up to three hours of work a day for 11 months, with a tutor helping at the end.
