Laura and Harrison are actually two of four quadruplets studying at Sunderland College, with fellow siblings Marcus and Lucas studying bricklaying and electrician apprenticeships at the City Campus.

Lara, 18, said; "I couldn't sleep last night and I was so nervous coming into college this morning.

"When I opened the envelope I was so happy - I couldn't believe it, I got As in English literature, sociology and criminology. I was expecting to get an A,B and a D, so I'm over the moon."

Brother Harrison got a B in maths, A in biology and a distinction in BTEC Information Technology.

He said: "I checked the UCAS website this morning and knew I had already got my place and so I was pretty confident coming in this morning.

"It's still nice to see and I'm really pleased."

The siblings are now both going to Leeds to study for there degrees, Lara to Leeds Beckett University to study speech and language therapy and Harrison to Leeds University to study microbiology.
