A 15-YEAR-OLD pupil has gained A grades in three A-level modules one year early.

Tom Alldred, who attends Bridgewater Independent School, Worsley, took three AS level modules in Physics and Maths, gaining straight A grades.

Tom, from Worsley, sat the exams a year before his peers as part of an accelerated learning programme.

The talented teenager had already gained three A* grades in GCSE maths, physics and chemistry when he was in Years 9 and 10. This summer he intends to sit a further 10 GCSEs.

Tom is considering a career in law and enjoys playing the piano, being in a marching band and leading a youth group.

The Year 11 pupil said: "I've always been quite good with numbers - it is just something that has come to me naturally. I've not found the studying to be too hard although I do have to put in some extra effort with homework."
