  • Year 13 Celebrate at their Prom

    Published 03/07/24

    We were delighted to celebrate with our wonderful Year 13 students at their prom on Tuesday 2 July.  It was lovely to reminisce about the past few years and to look forward to all the terrific things which await them in the future.

    After a (mercifully) brief set of speeches, students and staff enjoyed some great food in a plush setting; the mood was a perfect blend of relaxed, yet vibrant. Following the meal it was time to hit the dance floor or to talk the evening away.

     

      

    It was a real privilege to be part of such a terrific send-off.  Well done all and best wishes for the future.
