In a letter she received from Ruth Clarkson, a teacher from Lansbury Bridge School & Sports College, it was explained that the tests only measured a small part of Ben’s capabilities. He got many other skills to take pride in. Some of those are his “artisic talents”, “abilities in sports”, and his “kindness”.

“Well done, Ben. We are proud of you,” said the letter.
