Beautiful, Gifted Children: England’s Smartest Family! (8-Year-Old Twins Break Education Records)
Peter and Paula Imafidon, eight-year-old twins
from Waltham Forest in northeast London, are a
part of the highest-achieving clan in the history
of Great Britain education. The two youngest
siblings are about to make British history as the
youngest students to ever enter high school. They
astounded veteran experts of academia when they
became the youngest to ever pass the University of
Cambridge’s advanced mathematics exam. That’s on
top of the fact they have set world records when
they passed the A/AS-level math papers.
Chris Imafidon, their father, said he’s not
concerned about his youngest children’s ability to
adapt to secondary school despite their tender
age. “We’re delighted with the progress they have
made,” he said. “Because they are twins they are
always able to help and support each other.”To
Peter and Paula’s parents, this is nothing new.
Chris Imafidon said he and his wife have been
through this before: They have other super-gifted,
overachieving children.
Peter and Paula’s sister, Anne-Marie, now 20,
holds the world record as the youngest girl to
pass the A-level computing when she was just 13.
She is now studying at arguably the most renowned
medical school in the United States, Johns Hopkins
University, in Baltimore. Another sister,
Christina, 17, is the youngest student to ever get
accepted and study at an undergraduate institution
at any British university at 11. And Samantha, now
age 12, had passed two rigorous high school-level
mathematics and statistics exams at the age of
six, something that her twin siblings, Peter and
Paula, also did.
