From tuxedos to tiaras, top-of-the-range sports cars and gorgeous gowns, a leaving prom provided a spectacular send-off for Highfields’ Year 11 students.
Students turned on the style for their celebration at Wolverhampton’s Park Hall Hotel.
The event had been rescheduled from its original date in July due to Covid restrictions and topped off a day of celebrations for students, who had picked up their GCSE results earlier in the day.
Mr D Treble, Head of Upper School at Highfields, said: “The Year 11 prom was a wonderful celebration of the end of the school year for our students who have worked so hard over a difficult period filled with disruptions, lockdowns and remote learning.
“The event gave our students the chance to let their hair down and enjoy themselves in style after such a strange year.
“Despite the pandemic affecting their normal school routine, students achieved some fantastic GCSE results, and this prom was the perfect way to mark their achievements and celebrate moving on to the next chapter in their lives.”
The event included an extra special live performance by talented student James Casey, winner of Highfields Got Talent 2020 Christmas Special. James played the guitar and wowed his peers with a number of hits including Wonderwall by Oasis.
Mr Treble said: “It was a lovely addition to the celebrations and something we’ve never done at prom before. All of the students really enjoyed it and were cheering him on and singing along.”
