An Island student has received a prestigious award after gaining the highest mark in the world for one of his exams last year.
Zachary Elliott achieved the best mark across the globe in his Cambridge International A-Level Geography exam in summer 2019 at Castle Rushen High School.
As a result, he's been honoured with a Royal Geographical Society (RGS) Excellence Award for his efforts - the RGS Excellence Awards are presented annually to the highest achieving students in the subject at A-Level and GCSE level.
Zachary says 'It was really fantastic news to hear following the intensity of A-Level revision and exams' and is thanking his teacher, Emma Metcalfe, as well as others for the support they've given.
Following his success, Zachary left the school last year to go on to study geography at Oxford University.
