Pupils and staff at Mells Church of England First School have been celebrating after receiving a glowing report from their recent Ofsted inspection, which saw them retain their 'Good' status under a tougher Ofsted framework, whilst also recognising that the school encourages pupils to 'dream big'.

Parents also agree that staff create a nurturing, safe and friendly environment for their children.

While most children will be looking forward to a fabulous Christmas, some in Frome will miss out.

Frome Nub News would like to welcome its new regular Interior Design blogger Annie Webb. Here Annie introduces herself, and talks about her ethos behind home, renovation and interior design.

Residents are being urged to get the date for the 2019 Frome Children's Festival firmly in their diaries in the lead up to the well-loved annual event.

The event is in its sixth year and was chosen by the local community as one of the People's Budget vote winners. And this year, the line-up is better than ever with activities on offer being suggested by local children during events such as Frome Town Council's 'Make it Happen' youth conference.
