A grandmother who secured her GCSE maths qualification on her fifth attempt has urged other adult learners to "keep at it".
Wynne Hindle, 52, of Sudbury, Suffolk, achieved a grade four pass as the culmination of four years of trying.
The mother-of-three studied for the exam at the West Suffolk College adult learning centre in Bury St Edmunds, having first sat the paper during the 2022-23 academic year.
The former nanny and nursery nurse is now aiming to work in a school.
“I just wanted to achieve something and I’m a resilient person,” said Ms Hindle.
“I find it hard to quit so I just kept going.
“This is part of a journey to working at a primary school as a teaching assistant or a learning support officer.
“I was very happy and shocked to pass.”
West Suffolk College is part of Eastern Education Group.
Ms Hindle added: “I’d like to say a very big thank-you to the college and particularly to my tutor.
“My message to other (adult learners) is to keep at it.”
