Twin brothers at a school in Woodford Green are celebrating after getting exactly the same A-level grades in the same subjects.

William and Thomas Kok, who both go to Woodbridge High School, each studied maths, biology and chemistry A-levels.

Extraordinarily they both achieved A* in maths, A in biology and A in chemistry.

The twins said they were "really happy", adding: "This is what we were hoping for. It’s all over before you know it, life’s short (and) have fun."

It is not confirmed where the boys are studying next, according to a school spokesperson, but that it is "likely to be the same course".

The school said 26 per cent of all A-levels were graded A* to A and 55pc were graded A* to B. In vocational courses, 53pc of students achieved a Distinction or Distinction*.

Steven Hogan, headteacher at Woodbridge High, said: “Woodbridge students have once again achieved some outstanding results. They have been working hard for two years to achieve their well-deserved A-levels and VTQs.

"I am particularly pleased that so many of them have achieved the grades that they need to enable them to go on to study their chosen courses at universities across the country, or to take up apprenticeships in range of companies.”
