The end of the GCSE examination period is traditionally being marked nowadays by some sort of celebration and this has evolved into a grand occasion, with pupils dressing up in their finery and a chance to show this off with a meal and a dance afterwards.

Beech House Prom Committee this year chose a different venue from the last couple of years, the Norton Grange Hotel.

The pupils have come to the end of the first part of their itinerary of their life’s journey, one in which they have moved slowly but steadily, and are about to change tracks, before being let loose on the motorway of life. 

To ensure they take away with them fond memories of the school, and in particular the staff, Mrs White gathered up willing volunteers from the teachers there and they did a routine to Sam Cooke’s ‘Wonderful World’ which resulted in much hilarity.

Mrs White then invited everyone onto the dance floor to start the dancing with Alice Cooper’s ‘School’s Out’. 

During the course of the rest of the evening votes were cast and counted for the Prom King and Queen. It was a close call but congratulations to Harry Hayden and Paige Bramley for being chosen.

A school spokesperson said: "Thanks to the committee for organising the event, to Friends of Beech House for their contribution and to all the pupils for making it such a pleasant event."
