Artsmark recognises schools that provide pupils with opportunities in the arts, dance, drama and music.
It follows a series of school arts projects including when pupils displayed paintings of their grandparents at Exeter Children’s Literary Festival.
Mr Swire said: “Drakes is an excellent school with enthusiastic staff and happy children.
