A VISIT was made by David Warburton MP to Frome College to meet principal, Emma Reynolds, and hear about her plans for the school in her new role, on Friday 3rd November.
Ms Reynolds escorted the MP for Somerton & Frome around the campus to show him the impressive teaching and learning which goes on at the college.
The MP’s detailed tour of the campus included a visit to the sixth form centre and an introduction to the ‘Next Steps’ apprenticeship scheme. He also met members of a local community group who regularly use the college’s art facilities, as part of the Somerset Schools & Learning Programme.
During the visit, David Warburton commented on the excellent improvements over the past few years which are a great foundation for the future of Frome College and the students who attend. Ms Reynolds highlighted the importance of maintaining a broad, creative and inclusive curriculum to serve our community. She also explained the importance of keeping the students and the site safe for everyone in the college community, and discussed proposals to expand and improve the dining facilities at the school.
David Warbuton said, “It was delightful to meet Ms Reynolds at Frome College, offer my congratulations on her appointment and hear all about her many plans and her vision for the future. I’m delighted that Emma is keen to build on the college’s success and continue to make strides in improving not only the facilities, but also the ethos which is so key to the culture of Frome College.
“I was particularly interested to hear Emma’s ideas about raising student ambition, and her plans to promote the level of drive and motivation among the students, so that they can take full advantage of the wonderful opportunities afforded to them by this exceptional school. I am certainly keen to support Emma, and I look forward to keeping in touch as Frome College continues to thrive under her leadership.”
Frome College says, “We hope David will be visiting again soon to build strong links, and continue working together for the benefit of the wider community.”
![Town-wide programme brings month of social activities in May
A month-long programme of activities and events is set to take place across the town in May as part of an initiative encouraging residents to connect with themselves, each other and local places.
The scheme, Frome Connects, will run throughout the month and includes a mix of social activities, creative events and informal meet-ups in community spaces.
Highlights include the return of Dress Up Fridays, which began during lockdown and invites people to wear formal clothing or fancy dress and turn the town into their catwalk each Friday.
Set-piece moments include a Kate Bush-themed flashmob (Running Up That [Catherine] Hill) on 30th May, followed by a bell peal at St John’s Church where the bells will play Running Up That Hill.
There will also be a whole-town drone photo on Friday 30th May, with everyone encouraged to ‘look up’ at around 12.30pm.
