A decade after telling his dad that his dream was to be a surgeon, gym-loving Josh Darby is one step closer to his medical dreams after a stellar set of GCSE results.
The 16-year-old, a pupil at Walbottle Academy, picked up a clutch of top grades. Opening his results on camera, he revealed a slew of 8s and 9s.
Walbottle Academy became part of the Northern Education Trust multi-academy trust in September 2020. It had previously been placed in special measures after an "inadequate" Ofsted inspection. Lemington lad Josh was just one of the star pupils to mark the first GCSE results since then - thanks to Covid-19 - with the school's best ever results.
