Mr R A Butler (the late Lord Butler, Minister of Education at the time) officially opened the first Oakfield School; which was Frome’s first co-educational, comprehensive community day school. Pictured below are some sport teams and members of staff, led by Headteacher Mr F E Bell. In 1973 the school changed from being a secondary modern comprehensive to a middle school; which catered for 9-13 year old pupils. ### The History of Oakfield [
