A Magical Night to Remember!

Our amazing Post 16 students had an absolutely unforgettable night at their Prom last week! The dance floor was buzzing, the outfits were stunning, and the memories made will last a lifetime.

A special shoutout to our very own Prom Queens, Becky and Rachel, who helped make the night extra special!

We also want to extend a huge thank you to all the wonderful businesses and individuals whose generous support made this magical evening possible: Springthinking, N N Building Solutions, Morrisons, Barons Pubs Company and John Munro for bringing along his beautiful car.

Check out some of the highlights from the night in our Prom photo album!

Yesterday we were joined by Kylie and Taylor from Guiding Future Champs. The students watched a presentation then did some activities including press-ups, star jumps and stretches. Everyone also got the chance to hold and wear their medals which was very popular!
