Gagan Singh, 17, is a former Newsome Academy GCSE student who is now studying for A-levels in chemistry, physics, maths and further maths at Eton College, the all-boys boarding school in Windsor
Gagan applied for a fully-funded scholarship after his maths teacher at Newsome, Mr Jesson, said it might be a good idea - but the young student didn't believe he'd actually land an Orwell Award until Eton College finally confirmed his place at the famous independent school, where annual fees are tens of thousands of pounds for those without scholarships.
Famous old boys include Boris Johnson, David Cameron, Ian Fleming, Prince Harry and Prince William.
Gagan, from Waterloo, Huddersfield, has been at Eton a year now and has settled in. During term time he lives in a boarding house with 50 other boys.
