Sheer grit and determination shown by students at Frome College - congratulations all | Local News | News | Frome Nub News

The Principal of Frome College has praised her pupils for another outstanding year of results.

She writes:

Frome College students should be really proud of their GCSE and BTEC results received today. Having faced great uncertainty and significant disruption, the sheer grit and determination students have shown through the pandemic has been tremendous.

This year, following the cancellation of exams, grades were awarded through a process of teacher assessment, against national standards, approved and awarded by exam boards. The government is not publishing performance data for any schools or colleges this year due to the varying impact of the pandemic; a healthy opportunity which allows us to concentrate on individual successes.

Congratulations to Mary Evans, Melissa Verwey, Willow Hunter, Aimee Uttley, Jack Bishop, Sophie Gilson, Frankie Polakova, Danny Nguyen, Jacob Roberts and Bethan Davis, who between them gained an outstanding 89 qualifications at level 9 and 8- the highest possible achievement.

Equal congratulations go to Lana Lewis, Amy Barter, Elen Northeast, Tilly Kempshall, Lucy Sheppard, Kira Ramnarain, Violet Venables Ziminski, Izzy Neale, Filip Borek and Millie Fay Light who made the most progress from year 9 to year 11.

Even though final examinations were cancelled, this should not detract from the significant hard work and commitment put in by our students, with the outstanding support of parents and college staff. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank our teachers who have ensured each young person has been awarded results that truly reflect the standard they had achieved.

We look forward to welcoming our new year 12 back to college on Wednesday 8th September.

Emma Reynolds

Principal
