All geographers and computer scientists secured a grade B or above, and classics students achieved 100 per cent A*-B, with every one of them going on to study the subject at university.
Maria Young, headmistress at Farnborough Hill, said: "Receiving A-level results is always a pivotal moment in a young person’s life, and today I am thrilled to see our girls prepared, excited and ready to take their place in the wider world.
"Most importantly, they are not just leaving Farnborough Hill with a set of strong grades; they are leaving with a strong sense of self, of worth and of community – of which they will always be a part."
Achievements in the creative and performing arts were also notable, with 100 per cent of students securing A*-B grades.
