Hamza Mahmood received the Outstanding Cambridge Learner Award for achieving the highest mark in the country for Cambridge International AS Level Physics in last year’s Grade 11 November exams. He also achieved four As in biology, chemistry, maths and physics.
Cambridge Studies physics teacher, Anita Hewitt expressed her pride in Hamza’s results. “Hamza has been an incredible student to work with – he is a brilliant young man who takes delight in understanding new physics concepts, and is diligent in mastering the application thereof ,” she said.
