To achieve a place in the top ten of students in the country for an exam is fantastic - but for six of the places to be filled by students from one school is almost unheard of.
That's the situation that Truro School is celebrating, after being told six of their A-level fine art students are the best in the country.
Art teacher David Heseltine, who retired last term after nearly 30 years at the school, said: "I'm delighted. We've never had anyone in the top ten, though we've had some that have had 100 per cent marks in one but not the other exam." To be given a place in the top ten, students must achieve 100 per cent in every module of both their AS-level and A-level exams.
