CALLINGTON Community College has been included in a new schools guide that picks out the best places in the UK for AS and A-level subjects. The college has gained the place through its teaching of the general studies AS level and is called 'the best non-selective state school for boys' in this subject in the inaugural edition of the Good Schools Guide A-Level Awards. The guide is complied through data released for the first time through the Freedom of Information Act 2000, which allows analysis of the detail examination results that lie behind the 2004 league tables. Every school's performance in each subject has been rated by the guide and complied in an index to highlight good teaching. It has awarded certificates to the schools which have, on analysis of the results, outdone all other English schools in excellence in each A-level subject. Editor of the guide Ralph Lucas said: 'More than 450 schools have received awards ranging from the famous – Eton earns ten awards, notably for classics and art – to schools way down the rankings. 'What comes across most is how widely spread good teaching is.'
