Highfields has bid a fond farewell to Year 11 and Year 13 students - and is now preparing to give them a spectacular send off with a prom and leavers party planned for the summer.
A special assembly was held in school for Year 11 students, giving the class of 2021 the chance to celebrate their school life as they prepare to move on to the next chapter.
As part of the celebrations, awards were handed out to honour special achievements or particular events, whilst old photographs and videos were shown documenting students’ time at Highfields.
They then went outside to sign shirts and say their goodbyes.
Sixth Form students marked their last day at Highfields with a get together in the school’s Lecture Theatre where photos were shown and memories were shared.
Head of Sixth Form, Mr S Pycroft, said: “It was lovely to have so many Year 13 students join us for our leavers celebration.
“They have made such a positive contribution to the school community during their time at Highfields, and we are immensely proud of everything that they have achieved.
“They have coped with the challenges of Sixth Form admirably and I am confident that further success awaits them in the future.”
A Year 11 prom is set to take place at the Ramada Park Hall Hotel’s Grand Marquee on 1st July.
The Year 13 leavers event is scheduled at the same hotel on 8th July. Tickets for the event are still available, costing £20.
