Commenting
on Andrew’s scholarship award, Head of Sixth Form, Tim Borton, said: “Andrew
settled in very quickly when he joined us, immersing himself in all aspects of
College life. He clearly had considerable potential and we were delighted to
see this flourishing during his time with us, not only gaining top A level
results, but also achieving 100% in several of his Maths papers. Andrew is a
dedicated scientist and it is good to see his promise being fulfilled in such
spectacular fashion at Oxford. I’m sure this will be only the start for him,
with further accolades to come in the future.”
