Frome Community College is a comprehensive school in Frome, Somerset, England.

It caters for approximately 1,271 students from the ages 13 to 18 as of 2014,[1] as it is part of the three tier system. Students' studies at the College lead up to GCSE, GNVQ, AS-Level and A-Level qualifications. Adult learning courses are also offered,[2] as well as a nursery for preschool children.

The College contains two distinct student bodies based on the year group a student is in. Pre-16 students are those in Years 9, 10 and 11 who are mostly studying for GCSEs.[3] In 2009 44% of students achieved the equivalent of five or more GCSES Grade C or above including English and Maths.[4]

Post-16 students are part of the school's Tertiary sector and so are known as Sixth Form students. They are for the most part studying AS/A-Levels. The site has a large self containted Sixth Form building called Frome Futures [5]

ECOS

The College campus incorporates both the 240 seat Merlin Theatre[6] and Frome Leisure Centre, both of which are open to the school's use during school hours. The Leisure Centre offers a wide range of activities including swimming, indoor bowls, squash and a gym.[7]

The school changed its uniform in September 2013 to a more formal style. This change completely revamped the uniform, with the Year 9, 10 and 11 students wearing a navy blue blazer with purple lining bearing the school logo and the word 'Frome' below, a white shirt, and their house colour (red, orange, green or blue) clip on tie, mid grey trousers or purple and white tartan skirt and black shoes.
