The teenager scooped 11 grade 9s, an A* in further maths and distinction in PE.
On the secondary's results, Ms Robinson, said: "At Rokeby, the maths, physics and computer science departments celebrated some fantastic results today.
"All three subjects saw more than two thirds of students achieving a pass with more than 20 per cent achieving a grade 7 or better."
