The duo represented the UK in the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), held on 16 and 17 July in Bath. Each team comprises just six school-aged mathematicians, highlighting the exceptional talent required to compete on this global stage.

Alex earned a gold medal. His outstanding performance has placed him equally eighth on the list of ‘all-time greats’ in the IMO, a remarkable accomplishment in the competition’s history.

Isaac also showcased his mathematical prowess, securing a silver medal. Following outstanding A-level results with four A* grades in Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Ancient Greek, he will shortly read Mathematics at Trinity College, Cambridge.

The UK team placed an impressive sixth out of 108 participating countries.
