👩🏽‍🏫 Year 8 Transition events 👨🏼‍🏫

Are you a parent of a student in Year 8?

Our transition events begin this month and we are looking forward to welcoming you to our college.

🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 Parents/Carers:

📆 30th June 2026

Transition talks take place in Futures Building. From here you’ll be able to meet your child’s tutors.

Times are as follows:

💙 Neptune 5pm
💛 Venus 5.30pm
♥️ Mars 6pm
🧡 Saturn 6.30pm

👦🏾👧🏼 Students :

1st July 2026

The day runs from 8.40am - 3pm and is an opportunity for your child to experience a day in the life of a Frome College student. During the day the students will take part in a range of activities including time with their tutor, lessons, breaktimes and getting to know the site. Your child needs to:


Meet staff on the tennis courts by 8.40am at the latest. Staff will be on hand to direct everyone.
Wear their current school uniform. If any students are currently not in school please wear plain black trousers/ shorts/ skirt and a white shirt.
Bring a pen.
Bring a water bottle.


Lunch will be provided on the day in the form of a meal deal which includes a main course and a cake. Vegetarian options are available. Students can refill their own water bottles throughout the day if needed. There will be a small selection of drinks available for purchase from the college canteen, however please note that they can only be paid for using a bank card. We will not be able to cater for any specific dietary requirements and these students will need to provide their own lunch.


Students will be dismissed from college at 3pm from the exit that leads to the Sports Centre car park.
On this day, the children who currently have passes for the school buses which come to Frome College can stay on the bus in the morning and can take the return bus back as usual. All other students who cannot be accommodated by the school bus system will need to make their own arrangements.

See you soon!

🎒 DofE Bronze practice walk 🎒

The DofE crew would like to say a BIG well done to those 58 Year 9 students who took part in the Bronze award practice walk 👏🏽

They covered 13-15km in some pretty horrible conditions in the afternoon, mostly with a smile - especially once they got back to college! They were surrounded by glorious countryside and demonstrated some excellent resilience especially when the wet weather came in.

Lastly a HUGE thankyou to Mr Barry, Mrs Smith, Mrs Sandy, Mrs Parsons (School staff) and Simon Baldwin, Cara Flanagan, Roland Hurrell and Holly Busson (Volunteers) for giving up their Saturday to support our students.

Without their support this award would cost hundreds of extra pounds for the students so we really do thank all of our volunteers!

A quick reminder that their qualifier is 3rd-4th July.Frome College DofEfe
