Friday 13th July, unlucky for some, but not for these students! Our prestigious Year 11 students ended their time here at St Edmund’s with a night to truly remember – Prom night!

Our students had an amazing time at The Mount Hotel in Tettenhall, dancing and entertaining themselves after the stress of GCSE examinations (which they had just completed and will get results for in August). The party had a professional photographer, a photo booth fitted with props, a pick & mix stand, an instagram selfie frame, a DJ and food for the occasion. The party lasted from 6:30 to 11:30.

Mr McArdle, our amazing Geography teacher, set up this year’s prom. When asked why, he responded,

“I think prom is an excellent celebration of the achievements across not just Year 11, but five years of school. I think it’s like a natural progression as you move towards Year 11.  It’s what you look forward to and obviously a celebration, now that they’ve finished their exams, to come together one last time before they part ways.  It’s a chance to celebrate as a year group all that they have achieved.”

This year’s prom went off without a hitch. We can only hope next year’s will be just as perfect!
