The school was very cautious and suggested postponing until Year 11 (or at least Year 10). But with her mum’s huge support and belief in her, Milla went ahead — and what a phenomenal result! She took the Foundation tier and achieved an incredible 264 points (when only 155 were needed to secure her grade 🎉).

The best compliment I could wish for came from Milla herself: “the exam was just like a lesson.” That shows just how calm, confident and well-prepared she was.

With such a solid foundation and such a positive first exam experience, I have no doubt she will smash the Higher tier next year and reach the very top grades. Well done, Milla!
