A husband and wife have appeared in court accused of defrauding Britain's top school for A-level results out of more than £5million from its charity fund.

Yasmin Sarwar, 43, from Cyncoed, opened Cardiff Sixth Form College in 2004 and claims to have 'helped over 800 students' gain admission into some of the UK's most illustrious universities.

But there were said to have been irregularities in the school's finances between 2012 and 2016 - leading South Wales Police to launch an official investigation.

It led to the self-confessed 'Tiger Mum' and her husband Nadeem Sarwar, 49, being charged with multiple theft and fraud offences against the school.

Ms Sarwar became head of the college's charity - and it rose to rank above illustrious Rugby and Marlborough schools with pupils travelling all over world to take top A-levels.
