School gets record number of students into Mensa

A school in London has managed to get a record number of students into the high-IQ society Mensa in one sitting. A total of 56 pupils at The Heathland School in Hounslow were invited to join the organisation, which is for people with an IQ in the top 2% of the population. Figures for the last five years show that on average, 27% of children who are entered by schools are invited to join Mensa. On a recent inset day, a number of the new Mensa members volunteered to come in to school for a masterclass in chess. 大象传媒 Asian Network's Anisa Kadri went along to speak to some of them.
