A pupil who will be trading Thetford for Oxford is among the A-level success stories in the south of the county.
Thetford Grammar School pupil Maddy set herself the goal of studying chemistry at Oxford University after being awarded nine grade-nine GCSEs in 2020.
And her ambition is now set to become a reality following a hat-trick of A* grades.

"Maddy's classmates will be heading off to a range of excellent universities, including Edinburgh, UCL, Birmingham and Loughborough."
The school received 88pc A* to C grades and a 100pc pass rate.

The soon-to-be Reading student said: "Going to university is a dream come true for me and I will be the first in my family to go to uni.
"It's a new chapter and very exciting. Sixth form really boosted my confidence and brought me out of my shell, all of the teachers have been so supportive and I couldn't have asked for better mentors."
