A Norfolk student is preparing to venture into the futuristic world of AI after scoring five A* grades in her A Levels.

Vinethmi Kulasinghe, who attended Springwood High School in King's Lynn, secured a quintet of top grades - one of the region's many A Level success stories.

And she is now preparing to study robotics and artificial intelligence at University College London - having earned A*s in maths, further maths, physics, chemistry and an extended project qualification.

She said: "I am fascinated about AI. It's the next big thing and the way things are going at the moment, but I picked the cause because of the robotics element."

Elsewhere, Gavin Green, headteacher at Fakenham Academy, said its pupils had earned a "significant increase" in top grades.

And a spokesman for Dereham Sixth Form College said they were "very pleased" with the results its pupils achieved.
