First night at the Prom
10:38am Wednesday 2nd July 2008 in News By Peggy Clatworthy
Students from Year 11 at Tewkesbury School set out on their prom night
PUPILS from Tewkesbury school celebrated the end of their school days in real style.
Around 300 year 11 students and their teachers put on their glad rags and enjoyed a formal prom at the Puckrup Hilton on Friday evening.
Although many of them will be going on to the sixth form, that is seen as a separate unit, and not part of the main school.
Ashleigh Mayal and her friends really pulled out all the stops, with flounced evening gowns, immaculate make up and a pink Humber limousine for transport.
She said: "It was a really good night out, everyone dressed up - even the teachers, and we had a lovely formal meal and a disco.
"It is the first time I have ever done anything like that, and I feel it marked the start of being an adult."
