Not content with achieving his Olympic dream of winning a medal at the London Games, Tom Daley has proved he’s also pretty smart by achieving three A grades in his A and AS levels. The poster boy of Team GB tweeted on Thursday morning that he had got one A* grade and one A grade at A level, as well as an A grade at AS level. “I got an A in Spanish! Overall I have A* photography(A2), A spanish(A2) and A maths(AS) 🙂 thanks 2 @PlymouthColleg1 :D,” he said. Daley also shared a picture of his Spanish results with his one and a half million Twitter followers. The 18-year-old wished his fellow students good luck as thousands across the country nervously peeled open their results letters. According to official figures the proportion of A-levels scoring at least an A grade has fallen for the first time in more than 20 years. In total, 26.6% of the exams were given an A or A*, down from 27% in 2011 – a record drop of 0.4%.
