James has consistently demonstrated outstanding academic achievement, particularly in mathematics and reading, achieving results in the top 2.5% for maths and top 0.7% for reading on national assessments. He was selected for multiple advanced enrichment programs based on these results, including high ability maths initiatives that involved weekly sessions with like-minded peers.
