EXETER College has won four A-level awards award from the Good Schools Guide.
It received the best results for an English school or college for boys taking A-level World Development; A-level art and design achieved by girls; and A-level photography achieved by both girls and boys.
Lynne Butler, deputy head of visual arts at the college, said the recognition had been a boost.
She said: “We are delighted to have the work of the faculty of art and design recognised in this way.
“Being able to inspire students to achieve at a high level is always our aim, and it is wonderful to be informed our students are doing so well in relation to the rest of the country.
“It is also, of course, a tribute to the commitment of the students themselves. They invest a great deal of effort and time in developing their technical skills; their knowledge of established artists’ and photographers’ work and their very individual ideas, presenting that work in a professional way.
The students’ work in all art disciplines can be seen in the CCI building until Thursday.
Maggie Matthews, Acting Head of Humanities at the college, said World Development has become increasingly popular for both male and female students over the past few years.
She added: “We are delighted that the high success rate of our male students has been recognised nationally.
“There is still room for improvement though as the female students still lead the way with 15 of the 25 A grades at AS level last year.
“Exeter College was one of the first to offer the full A level award and has developed a good expertise in this subject.”
The Good Schools Awards aim to highlight excellent teaching in individual subjects.
