Question

how did score over the clever schoolfellows in after years?<br />​

Answer 1

Answer:

He entered his second school in 1882, Brighton, which was more benign and he finished his elementary education there. Winston enrolled at Harrow in 1888 with very poor entrance exam scores, effectively placing him at the bottom of his class. This was a humiliating position for a proud boy, and an irritation to his father.

Winston possessed a keen mind, but also a spirit not suited to school regiment. However, he excelled in subjects that appealed to him - English and History. He also showed athletic ability by winning the Public Schools' fencing championship. The school newspaper reported, "His success was chiefly due to his quick and dashing attack, which quite took his opponents by surprise."
