In industry, what really matters how hard working (i.e industrious) you are and how well you can get results. Those are only things that matter. Rest are all are preparations. For instance, if you have good training on math it is likely that you will be a better programmer (although there are no guarantees). But I do see your concern about not having high grades or scores. But you can make up for this my working harder (yes, very hard) to get First Class (or Distinction) and probably your earlier scores don't matter much to your potential employers. As an example I can quote my own experience in this matter. I didn't have First Class in HIghSchool but in College I worked very hard to get Distinction and I continued that tendency in Post Graduate (M Tech) program to get high scores and there good recommendations from my professors which helped me to get into MS in America.So to answer your question, this shouldn't matter at all, though could be some employers who might be picky about this. But most employers do not care that much about earlier academics. How well you can do things currently is what matters. So roll up your sleeves and show what you are capable of.
