Schools in Frome

Somerset's foremost wool and cloth settlement through the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Frome has kept a remarkable density of listed buildings across a conservation-area centre on high ground above the River Frome at the eastern end of the Mendip Hills. Some 28,000 residents call the town home. Cultural life centres on the annual Frome Festival and the Frome Museum, while Berkley and Welshmill extend the residential offer north and west. Frome draws families from across east Somerset for its state-school options, with the Park Road area particularly sought-after for primary catchments. Great Western Railway services link the town to Bath in roughly twenty-five minutes.
