A First = First Class Degree (U.K), the top mark awarded for UK degrees. The award is given only at the end of the degree, so your sentence is impossible. You can say: "He often got top marks in English". Or... "He got a First in English", which means he finished his Bachelor's with a First Class grade.

He got A's. Or - he got excellent marks/grades.
