Siblings share top exam mark
From the archive, first published Friday 30th Sep 2005.
FORMER Malvern College pupil Joy Brewitt-Taylor has just had her International Baccalaureate mark upped from 44 to 45.
This brings her in line with brother Sam, who got the same score in 2003, well above the 39-point threshold for Oxbridge entry.
"It's astonishing for both a brother and sister to achieve the maximum points for the IB," said head Hugh Carson. "The IB organisation has said it knows of no other brother and sister who have achieved this.
"Sam and Joy are to be congratulated and so are those who taught them here."
Joy is going to Madagascar in January to teach and will join Selwyn College, Cambridge, to read economics next autumn. Sam is reading modern history at St Peter's College, Oxford.
