Yasmin Anjum Sarwar, 43, from Cyncoed, Cardiff also pleaded not guilty to all nine charges against her, while Ragu Sivapalan, 39, from Penylan, Cardiff, denied false accounting between January 2013 and July 2016.

All three defendants were granted bail on Tuesday, with the next hearing scheduled for 6 May at Cardiff Crown Court.

The college on Newport Road, a fee-paying school for 16- to 18-year-olds, regularly records some of the highest A-level results in the country.

The college has changed ownership since the alleged fraud, with the charity that oversees it now called the Cardiff Educational Endowment Trust.
