School overview
Frome Community College is a secondary school serving Frome, Somerset, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. It has 1,284 pupils aged 13 to 18 on roll. The school's average Attainment 8 score in the latest GCSE results was 42.7 — below the national average (national average: 46). Its Attainment 8 score has risen by 2.7 points year on year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of secondary schools nationally.
41% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths, in line with the national average of about 45%. 58% achieved a standard pass (grade 4+) in English and maths. After Year 11, 91% of its leavers went on to education, an apprenticeship or work that they stayed in for at least two terms. There are about 17.3 pupils per teacher. Frome Community College does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
