Twins enjoy double grade success

The twins are now off to York University to study identical degrees

Twin brothers are celebrating after scoring an identical number of A-grades in identical A-level subjects.

Now Hadi and Mahdi Godazgar from York are off to the city's university to do the same degree in Maths and Physics.

The pair have more reason than most to celebrate because they did not learn English until they moved to England from Iran when they were eight.

A York College spokesman said the twins' success was down to the hard work they had put into their studies.

The pair had made an enormous contribution to the college, he added.

"We are absolutely delighted for them and we wish them well as they go on to York University," the spokesman said.

The twins scored A grades in Maths, Further Maths, Physics, Biology and Chemistry.
