Twins Krishan and Jai-hin Patel are celebrating scoring a clean sweep of A*s in their GCSE exams gaining 20 between them.

The brothers from Old Marston got ten A*s apiece in the tests.

The 16-year-old twins both attend the independent boys’ school Magdalen College School, Oxford.

Krishan said it was an “amazing” achievement for the pair who conducted revision sessions together and pushed each other to achieve the grades in their weakest subjects.

He said: “It was great to get a clean sweep.

“It felt so good I wasn’t expecting to ten A*s.

Krishan, who picked up his results at the school this morning, aced his exams in English, English literature, maths, biology, chemistry, physics, French, history, Latin and Spanish.

His brother, who is playing cricket for Oxfordshire County at present in Jersey, took the same exams except he took geography instead of Spanish.

The boys’ school has its own new record with the number of A* grades at 76.49%. Almost a quarter of the 104 boys in the year group achieved ten or more A*s.
