Secondary school pupil Patrick McCabe, 16, has told BBC Breakfast that the wait for his GCSE results on Thursday is “terrifying”.
McCabe has cerebral palsy and completed exams in seven subjects over the course of five months using eye-gaze technology – an achievement celebrated by his friends and teachers at school.
The pupil, who describes himself as “hard-working, resilient and a little bit cheeky,” said the process was difficult.
McCabe was inspired to take the exams after seeing the late Rob Burrow appear on CBeebies’ Bedtime Stories, where he read aloud using an eye-controlled computer.
BBC Breakfast’s Jayne McCubbin spoke to Patrick ahead of results day.
