Miguel says balancing work and free time is key to handling a busy schedule. After celebrating his GCSE results, he’s already looking ahead to his ambition of becoming a lawyer. Meanwhile, River, 15, secured a place at his college of choice.

River said he was ecstatic to learn he had hit all of his GCSE targets. He said: “I did a lot of guided revision every morning. A lot of it was independent, just sitting down with a book, covering it, and then writing up what I remembered.”
