Twins Jessica and Jennifer Gadirova collected their GCSE results on Thursday, just days after winning bronze at the Tokyo Olympics.
The 16-year-olds plan on remaining at Aylesbury Vale Academy where they will both do the Sport and Management course at sixth form.
Jessica Gadirova said: “We are very happy and pleased, we both got the pass and are very thrilled.”
“It was very difficult and it would not have been possible without the support from our teachers and coaches.
“If there were days that we had to miss school because of training, they would give us the resources and help to catch up.”
They were part of a team, including Alice Kinsella and Amelie Morgan, to claim Great Britain’s first women’s team gymnastics medal since 1928.

The proportion of GCSE entries awarded top grades has surged to an all-time high this year after exams were cancelled for the second year in a row due to Covid-19.
Hundreds of thousands of youngsters have been given results determined by their teachers, with pupils only assessed on what they have been taught during the pandemic.
