"I went to Cambridge University in the 1970s when kids like me, from Northern/North Wales comprehensive schools on free school meals, never got to Cambridge.
"Our school in Rhyl couldn't even let me take the two Maths A levels usually necessary to get to Cambridge (in addition to all of the other subjects you needed), such were the restrictions. But my college @SidneySussexCollege invested in me and said I could go on a conditional A level offer instead. I got the grades.

"So in 1978, I went there when I was only 17 years old, and eventually graduated with an Engineering degree. My passion in life has always been to help others from a similar background do as well as they can in education and not be dependent on where they come from. I am FIERCE about this."
Carol's fans raced to heap praise on the star, with one writing: "The buttery is always the best place! Congratulations my lovely, well deserved," whilst a second noted: "What a beautiful, beautiful post!! Well done darling... absolutely equal opportunities for all."
"Well done Carol! Inspirational story and such an important message," remarked a third and a fourth added: "Fantastic, what an amazing story to read. Well done Carol, that is incredible."
