They were putting on the glitz, when the Class of 2026 arrived at their WNAT school in style to celebrate their end-of-year Prom.

Around 100 Year 11 leavers were greeted by friends, family members,and well wishers at St Clement’s High School in Terrington St Clement, as they were delivered to the school in a range of vehicles, from sports cars to fire engines, before leaving for the party at Knight’s Hill in Lynn.

In keeping with the glamour of the occasion, the students were dressed in a colourful array of evening wear, from sparkling ball gowns and cocktail dresses, to stylish suits.

Refreshments on offer included orange fizz mocktails on arrival, a pizza buffet, and a host of desserts, while an all-night DJ provided music, and a giant, balloon arch with a sequinned backdrop gave partygoers the perfect setting for photo opportunities.

There was also a fun ‘awards ceremony’ to add to the entertainment.

Jasmin Towler is Head of Year 11 at St Clement’s, and helped organise the celebration.  

“Events like this are an important part of school life, giving the students an opportunity for a final send off, and to spend one last evening as a year group before they go their separate ways,” she said.

Miss Towler and other staff members also joined the students to celebrate their successes on their special night.

She added: “This Year 11 cohort will always hold a special place in my teaching journey, being my first year group as Head of Year.

“They have achieved so much in the time I have known them, and I wish them all the best for their futures.”
