Haroon Tariq: The boy who got 46 As in his exams
Its principal, Shahmina Kamal, a British-Pakistani from Manchester, says they have given him a lot of personal tuition but denies this is at the expense of less driven pupils.
"I think every student gets their own deserts and if they want hope we are there to support them as well," she says.
"I've got other children as well that I have been helping personally as well as our teachers - they go out of their way [to help].
"Any student that needs help - our school goes out of their way for them."
Haroon's record is not absolutely flawless. He started both Spanish and French but found them too time-consuming and gave them up.
But has he not locked himself in an ivory tower and missed out on non-academic pursuits? No, he says quickly.
"I actually love football, you know. I love Manchester City - I support them. I've been following them four or five years, I love the English Premier League."
And on the pitch "I'm a centre forward and I can also play on wings".
He finds time for the school debating society, too.
Haroon says his parents put no pressure on him a

ISLAMABAD: A Pakistani student, Haroon Tariq, has broken the current world record by securing a total of 47 As in his International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) O Level and A Level exams from the University of Cambridge International Examinations.
His subjects spanned both the humanities and sciences including Human and Social Biology, Islamic Religion and Culture, Physics, Chemistry and Global Development.
A student of Froebel’s International School (FIS), Haroon Tariq’s achievement had put Pakistan in the global spotlight.
In the O Levels, the previous world record was 28 As which was also held by a Pakistani student Zohaib Asad. However, Haroon Tariq obtained 38 As in O levels and a total of 47As in his O and A level exams.
While talking to Dawn, Haroon Tariq said he studied 50 different subjects in O and A levels during the span of three years. He said obtaining 47 As was not easy as he had to study different languages including Spanish and French.
“I want to study engineering in the future, but have not decided whether to specialise in software engineering or aeronautical engineering,” he said.

As part of our #HuffPostListens week in Birmingham, we are publishing a series of Life Less Ordinary stories from extraordinary Birmingham residents. Today, campaigner Tariq Jahan speaks about losing his son Haroon in the riots, the unending loss of a child, and the charitable work he has done in his son’s name. To illustrate the series we have commissioned the respected photographer Vanley Burke to do a series of portraits, which will be on show in Birmingham this week.
It was a normal day in I’d gone to work like any other. I came back from work and the riots that had started in London had escalated and spread across the country. That evening I was outside by myself, heard a commotion, ran round and found three men lying in the street. I hadn’t any clue, but figured out they’d been run over, even if I couldn’t make sense of why they’d been run over or what happened.
The shock of finding my son, Haroon, among the three is something that will never go away. Giving him CPR and having to go through the motions time stopped.
Then going to the press, who are asking for a statement, I didn’t know what to say. I’ve never stood in front of anyone and made a statement an
