Frome College staff are delighted with the success of the Year 13 students and the results they have received in this summer's A-level examinations.

With 336 examination entries, the students have continued to deliver strong levels of achievement and progress to the highest of standards.

Forty-six per cent of all our examination entries achieved A* to B grades, meaning the hard work and dedication shown by Frome College students has once again been recognised at the highest academic level. 

Principal Emma Reynolds said: "This talented cohort of young people has made brilliant progress - these results provide an excellent start to university life, apprenticeships, employment and every success in the future.

"We, as a staff team, are proud of our students and their many contributions to college life.

"Among our many individual successes, special mention must go to Connor Cairns, Morgan Curle, Matthew Haines, Thomas Haines, Daisy Harrison-Broninski, Rhiannon James, Tilly Le Lohe Attwell, Dylan Oliver, Avalon Ross, May Schymczyk, Poppy Summers, Cordelia Tarbrooke, Pippa Turner and Flora Williams who between them achieved 39 A and A*grades - the highest number of top grades Frome College has ever received.

"We are especially pleased with our brilliant physics, English literature and modern foreign language results while maintaining our status as a centre of excellence for creative arts and vocational subjects.

"Credit and thanks must go to our dedicated staff team for all of their continuous hard work, dedication and support for all of our students."

Headline figures for the college include:

Percentage of A*/B grades - 46%

Percentage of A*/E grades - 96%

On Thursday 5th September, the staff look forward to welcoming back Year 13 students whose performance in mock exams has been very promising this summer. 

Chair of governors Max Wide said: "It is wonderful to see another improvement in the results that our students have achieved, to add to year-on-year improvements for Frome College.

"This is an excellent set of results and it is especially pleasing to see the increase in our top grades with those achieving A* and A increasing from 21 to 24 per cent, and those achieving A* to B grades increasing from 44 to 46 per cent.

"These results will set people on the journey to their next destination and we wish them well. My congratulations to them and our thanks to the teachers and parents who work together so well in our community college."
