Teenager unable to read or write heads off to university with straight As

Oliver Chadwick is so dyslexic that he has the reading age of a six-year-old. But that doesn't hold him back and, this summer, the inspirational 18-year-old achieved stunning A level grades.

The student from Bath achieved his two A and one A* results in mathematics, further mathematics and chemistry. He is now embarking on his next educational adventure to study engineering mathematics at the University of Bristol.
