A BUDDING young Rossendale actor has secured a scholarship to Blackburn College after achieving five As in her GCSEs.
Kirsty Rhymes, a Fearns Community Sports College student, was delighted when she opened her results.
She said: “I got an A in maths, I can’t believe that. When I took the exam first time I got a C.
“I have As in both English subjects, an A in chemistry and one in physics.
“I already have my own YouTube channel, and am in the middle of writing a web show.
“I write my own material and act.”
Engineering hopeful Chris Wilson is now heading to Bacup and Rawtenstall Grammar School for his A levels after gaining an A* and four As.
He will be joined by Dom Walsh, who also got five As, and would like to pursue a career in maths after university.
Nigel Dawson, headteacher at Fearns, said: “We have a significant number of pupils achieving As and A*s, and I am pleased with the number of pupils who have met their target grades.”
