We are a Church of England first school for 300 children aged 4 to 9 years in the heart of the busy market town of Frome.



Although our school day is extremely busy, there is always a sense of calm and purpose. We all strive to do our very best in everything we do. We value excellent character (being respectful, friendly and honest) every bit as much as our academic effort (hard work, progress and attainment). Equally important for all of us is a sense of enjoyment; we believe school should be fun!



In September 2012 Ofsted described us as 'a good school', 'a vibrant and a happy place to learn, where individuals are valued and enabled to develop a sense of wonder and curiosity.' In October 2017 Ofsted found that the school 'continues to be good' and that 'Leaders and governors are fully committed to implementing the necessary changes to ensure that the school goes from strength to strength'.
