'Barbie' meets 'A Handmaid's Tale'!

Our talented A Level performers blew us away today with their Component 2 Devising exam, brilliantly fusing themes from 'Barbie' and 'The Handmaid's Tale' through the dynamic physical theatre style of 'Frantic Assembly' . Watching our Year 13s command our professional performance space with such skill and confidence was incredible - and they even inspired their Year 9 audience! "This makes me so excited to take A Level Drama," was just one of many enthusiastic responses from our younger students. From concept to execution, this is what A Level Drama at Frome College is all about: pushing creative boundaries, tackling relevant themes, and developing professional-level performance skills in our enviable facilities.

School Camp for Year 9

Our Year 9 students are spending a night at P itch Perfect Camping in Woolverton this week! After an evening of activities, including team building and outdoor challenges, the students enjoy a good night's sleep (who are we kidding?!) before walking back to school after breakfast in the morning.
