A career in acting could be on the cards for one Hampton Boys school student after he secured himself a place to study drama at York university.

Rory Mercer, 18, of Darby Gardens, Sunbury, got 2 A*s, an A and a B.

He said: “I didn’t expect to get two A*s , I’m just waiting to party at my friends 18th tonight.

“I’ll see what happens after university but if I can get a job working in theatres that would be great.”
