Frome Valley is a below-average-sized school for pupils from Reception to Year 4. Children in the Early Years Foundation Stage are taught in a Reception class. All other pupils are grouped in separate year group classes. Most pupils attending the school are White British. The proportion of disabled pupils and those with special educational needs supported through school action is above the national average. The proportion supported by school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is below average. These proportions vary from year to year, but overall are broadly similar to those found nationally. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for the pupil premium (which provides additional funding for children in local authority care, children from service families and those known to be eligible for free school meals) is below average. Since the last inspection, there have been staff changes, including a new headteacher and deputy headteacher. A pre-school unit for children aged from two to four years also operates on the school site and is subject to a separate inspection.
