Top grades for trio of boy twins

The three sets of twins celebrate their GCSE results

Three sets of boy twins at a Sussex college have notched up 48 A* and A grade GCSEs between them.

Adam and Charles Davies, Luke and Miles Holbrook and Dale and Lucas Currell, all 16, celebrated their results in Brighton on Thursday.

All the boys are pupils at the city's independent Brighton College.

Miles Holbrook, from Hove, who gained six A*s and three As, said: "It's fantastic, it's just like winning a gold medal in the Olympics."

He added: "I'm so relieved and the fact that we are all twins and are able to share this success together makes it more special.

"We are not that competitive but we support each other - if one of us is doing revision then the other feels obliged to do the same."

His brother Luke achieved nine A*s.

Adam Davies received seven A*s and two As, Charles achieved eight A*s and one A, Dale Currell notched up six As and three Bs and Lucas got one A*, five As, one B and one C.

Head teacher Richard Cairns said: "It is especially good to see boys turning out results every bit as impressive as the girls."
