College Summer Uniform - amendment Created On 02 May 2013
Following student and parental requests, we have made the decision to amend the summer uniform policy with immediate effect.
Students can choose to wear their summer polo shirt only. However, if they choose to wear anything in addition to this it must be their blazer. Jumpers are still permitted, however the top layer must still be the blazer. This applies at all times, including to and from college. | Well Done Everyone and Thank you! Created On 20 Mar 2013
What a successful Bake Off for Comic Relief
We have raised a massive £531.40 for Comic Relief with Frogmore’s Bake Off. With 87 entries and well over 1000 cakes and cookies sold, and an opportunity to have a go at the Harlem Shake we all had an amazing day. Well done Jess Kent and Mrs Yates for being the Star Bakers and thanks to everyone who took part and also to those who bought the goodies. Special thanks to Jack, Joanne and Hannah for organising it. | RED NOSE DAY Created On 11 Feb 2013
THERE WILL BE NO SOGGY BOTTOMS HERE!
‘The Great British Bake Off’ comes to Frogmore on Friday 15th March.
Staff and students are all invited to take part in the Bake Off for Comic Relief. All edible items will be sold afterwards. Please encourage your child to get involved. The idea is to buy a recipe from the Library, (available now) for 50p, bake it, bring it to the Library on the morning of Friday 15th and cross their fingers. (Parental help is allowed and will be actively encouraged!). The delectable Mrs Howells assisted by the tantalising Mr Vaudin and heavenly Mrs Smallwood will be our judges as, sadly, Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood are unable to attend. There will be two prizes, one for staff and one for students. Have fun!
Noses are on order and will be available soon.

We are celebrating another record breaking year in our GCSE examination results. The proportion of students gaining five or more higher grades at A* to C rose again this year to an all-time College record of 81% - the first time ever the 80% threshold has been broken. The figure with English and maths also rose by another 3%, which with all the news headlines about tougher marking, especially in English, is a fabulous achievement. Within the excellent headline figures there were some outstanding individual results with many students achieving armfuls of A* and A grades.
We are all delighted that yet again the incredible, hard work, determination and perseverance of our students has paid off. These results are especially significant as not only do they represent the best headline results ever, but again crucially, outstanding progress over the five years at Frogmore.
The year group were determined in the year of the London Olympics to leave behind a legacy, and these record breaking results are certainly that.

We are delighted to be celebrating another record breaking year in our GCSE examination results. The number of students gaining five or more higher grades at A* to C rose a further six percent this year to an all time college record of 78%.
Within the excellent headline figures there were some outstanding individual results.

Both are now going to The 6th Form College, Farnborough; Mala to study Physics, Biology, Maths,Chemistry, History and English Literature and Amy to study Human Biology, Chemistry, Maths and Fine Art at A Level.

We are delighted that yet again the incredible hard work, determination and perseverance of our students has paid off. These results are especially significant as not only do they represent the best headline results ever, but more importantly, by far the greatest progress any year group has ever made over their five years at Frogmore.
We are particularly delighted with the outstanding results of a few of the students who had to overcome significant barriers to achieve the fabulous results they did. | HAMPSHIRE BOOK AWARDS 2011 Created On 11 Jul 2011
In a period of three months we were given a short list of six books to read. These were:
Time Riders by Alex Scarrow
Halo by Zizou Corder
Death Cloud by Andrew Lane
Two Good Thieves by Daniel Finn
Monster Republic by Ben Horton
Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Tim Collins
We attended weekly meeting in the library to discuss the books. We were given three points to evaluate the books on, known as the ‘3 Es’. These stood for enrichment, engagement and enjoyment. As we read each book we scored it out of 10 for each of the 3Es.
After twelve weeks of reading, lots of other schools who were also taking part, came to Frogmore. Each school brought about 10 students. We all split up into groups to discuss the different books. At the end of the afternoon we had to enter the book we wanted to vote for onto a slip of paper and place it into the box that had the book on the front. The teachers then counted up the votes and came up with a winner for that day. It was Time Riders.
On Monday 20th June we had to enter the book we wanted to win on a slip of paper and handed it back to our librarians. They counted up the votes and the book with the most votes was entered as our school vote. Two of the boys went to Winchester on the 22nd to join with schools from the whole of the county for discussions and a final vote. The overall winner was Time Riders.
by Becky Reynolds and Aimee Stephens | RED NOSE DAY Created On 04 Apr 2011
Red Nose Day 18th March was a very active and fun day for Frogmore's students and teachers. The school organised a non-uniform day with a twist. The students had the opportunity to wear anything they wanted and do something funny for money. The theme this year was Johnny Depp movies. Many people would think pirates, but one group of students took this opportunity and dressed up as characters from Alice in Wonderland, they looked absolutely marvellous. This also made the perfect occasion to host a Mad Hatter’s Tea Party. They held the party in the Drama Studio at lunch-time where there were also different events such as ‘Teachers in the Stocks’ and a ‘Haribo Eating Contest’ and various raffles. The event was a great success, raising lots of money for Comic Relief.
On the day the school raised £616.30 and money is still being collected. A fantastic achievement! Well done to everybody who dressed up or took part in the events of the day. | Annual General Meeting for the Frogmore College PTA Created On 21 Mar 2011

| YEAR 10 ENTERPRISE DAY – ‘COCO MANGO’ Created On 16 Nov 2010
On Monday 15th November Year 10 students participated in an amazing enterprise event entitled ‘Coco Mango’.
Coco Mango is a company who specialise in the manufacturing of natural soap and their company director, plus four staff from First Partnership, facilitated a great day during which teams of students designed their own unique soap, including brand, scent, texture, colour, costing, carbon footprint, packaging and marketing strategy. Each team presented a pitch on their product and the winners from each of four heats made it through to a grand final in the drama studio. The final presentations were all of a very high standard and the decision on the winner was very close indeed. In the end, originality clinched it for the group ‘Ying & Yang’ for their clever two sided his ’n’ hers soap. Congratulations to the winning team: Zara Bielby, Khshnaam Choudary, Stephanie Early, Robert Grig, Ben Roche and Jacob Smith.
All four teams who made it to the final will have their soap put into production and it will then be sold in college at a Christmas fair later in the term. | GLOBAL AWARENESS DAY Created On 15 Nov 2010
On Monday 8th November, Year 8 students took part in a Global Awareness Focus Day. After spending time thinking about what it means to be British, students learnt about life in Kenya. Many of the activities focused on sections from the popular Kenyan soap opera, Makutano Junction, and explored both the similarities and differences between life in Kenya and life in Britain. Many students found that the day challenged a lot of their assumptions about life in an African country. The whole day was a great success, with many thanks to Mr Bird, Mrs Heape, Mr Roberts and Miss Smith for their hard work in preparing for this exciting day. | KS4 PRESENTATION EVENING - 8 November 2010 Created On 11 Nov 2010

(The site of the previous mushroom farm.) The Environmental Impact report recently published has concluded that there will be no detrimental result to the locality by the planning application previously submitted, to increase the use of this site to recycle heavy waste. However they still intend to have over 50 lorries entering and leaving the site each day. The entrance to Clark’s Farm crosses the cycle path to Frogmore Community College Campus. Many parents use this path with prams and pushchairs, as well as it being used by the children cycling. The Governors and College are very concerned that this is still a significant safety issue. There will be a public meeting on Saturday 16th October at 5pm in the Darby Green Centre. We need to let the officials know the strength of public feeling on this matter and therefore it would be helpful if as many people as possible could attend the meeting to express their views. | Open Evening and Open Days 2010 Created On 04 Oct 2010
