Well Osem Jnr has just received school prizes for 'Excellence in English', 'Outstanding Academic Achievement' and a place on the school 'Wall of Fame'. I guess that's because, despite not being in the highest academic pathway in his year group, he's actually outperformed most of those who were.
Of course he doesn't go to a top school or anything like that (far from it in fact) but its results are steadily on the up despite the 'problem' intake and the boy can only do what he's done after all....
