Students at Sir William Borlase's Grammar School celebrated their A-level results after a "very challenging year" as described by the school's headteacher.
Exams were cancelled for the second year running because of the coronavirus pandemic as students across the UK were assessed by teachers on what they had been taught.
Headteacher, Kay Mountfield believes the sixth formers were the "most affected" students as they faced major disruption having to learn at home due to multiple national lockdowns.

The students have been taking assessments since their return to school in March so teachers were able to give the correct grade.
The headteacher said: "This year group wasn’t able to have a prom or anything, everything was cancelled.
"This is the most affected year group as they had two lockdowns in their sixth form.
"Their Year 12 finished in March and they didn’t come back to school until the following September and then when they came back to school they were very socially distanced, wearing masks, sanitizing and we had to have washing down of chairs in between every lesson so they were only moving three times a day.
"Then they had another lockdown from January through to March, so it was really tough for them and then right at the end, they were having to sit assessments as soon as they came back."
However, this didn't take away from the stress the students at the school felt in the lead up to results day.
Tom McCrorie, who is going on to study Business of the Creative Industries at the University of York, said he was "elated" with his results.
He said: "I’m feeling so happy. It was really a stressful year and I was really nervous but now I’m feeling relieved and proud."
Imogen Baguley said she was "very excited" to go and study Veterinary Medicine in London at the Royal Veterinary College.
She said: "I think it was more relaxing than exciting this morning and I think to breathe a sigh of relief. I’m going to study Veterinary Medicine, that’s my aim so I’m very excited to get there."
A statement from the school congratulated all the students after their hard work this year having to attend school online as well as in person.
It read: "We are delighted to celebrate the excellent achievement of our A Level students in what has been a very challenging year.
"We could not be more proud of all our Year 13; their outstanding results reflect the hard work and the commitment they and their teachers have shown working online and at school.
"They have developed as academics and grown as young people throughout their time in the Sixth Form showing tremendous camaraderie and support of the whole Borlase community.
We wish them all the very best as they embark on their next pathways at universities in the UK and beyond, at arts conservatoires and on competitive graduate apprenticeships and indeed as they take some much - needed time out to travel as the world opens up again.
"Congratulations to all!"
