A former Colchester schoolgirl has proved herself to be a real world-beater when it comes to sitting exams.

Natasha Gadsby, once a pupil of Colchester County High School, scored the highest mark of any entrant in the world when she sat her accountancy exams.

As one of nearly 5,000 students sitting the Association of Certified Chartered Accountants exam worldwide, Natasha scored an outstanding 80 per cent and was honoured at a presentation ceremony in London, where she received a certificate of merit and a cheque for £200.

Natasha now works as a financial analyst for HSBC bank
