Story

Frogmore Community College is a state secondary school based in Yateley, Hampshire, England drawing attendees from Yateley, nearby Blackwater, Darby Green, Sandhurst and Eversley.HistoryFormerly Frogmore Comprehensive School, then Frogmore Community School, it also used to include a Sixth Form College originally called the Blackwater Valley Centre (BVC) which was fully absorbed when the school took its present name at the end of the 1990s. The school opened "FCAS" (Frogmore Centre for Advanced Studies) in 2005, but the sixth form disbanded after only two years of practice, forcing a partnership with The Sixth Form College, Farnborough. The college still runs an Adult Learning Centre within FCAS. It at first co-operated with Yateley School but gradually expanded in the 1980s. The school is situated on campus with Potley Hill County Primary School. Also based in the campus area is Frogmore Leisure Centre and Frogmore Day Care Centre.The Headmaster of Frogmore in the 1990s was Paul Harwood, who left the school to become one of the first 'super-heads' (that would be deployed to take over failing schools nationally).Ex-Headteacher Peter Green left the school in 2008.In 2014, Mrs Sarah Howells temporarily left the school to become headteacher at Cove School, Hampshire as they went into special measures. As Mrs Howells left, Mr Chris Vaudin stepped in as the interim headteacher. In March 2015 it was announced that Mrs Howells would become 'executive head' of both Frogmore Community College and Cove School whilst Mr Chris Vaudin remained in charge of the school.
