Read about his daily routine.
I get up at 6:45 a.m., because my train to school leaves an hour later. I don’t eat a lot for breakfast. My mum says that I don’t eat enough!
I go alone on the train to Richmond, and then I walk to my school. People often think that I’m good at every subject, but it isn’t true. It’s only maths that I can do well.
When I passed my maths exam, I was on TV. It was brilliant! The TV station came to school and filmed me and my class. Also, a newspaper invited me to be the editor for a day. They gave me a cheque for ₤ 1 million – but it wasn’t real!
My day at school is quite ordinary. I have lessons in the morning and then lunch at school. Mum makes sandwiches for me. In the afternoons, we usually do sport. I’m not really interested in sport and I hate rugby.
In the evenings, I do my homework, then I play computer games. I’ve got about fifty games. I also like reading and playing chess. At 9.30 my dad tells me to go to bed. But I usually stay up for another three quarters of an hour, and then go to bed.
