Thomas Clarkson Academy year 11 and 13 students enjoy double prom celebrations in Wisbech

The red carpet was rolled out on Friday as students from a Wisbech school enjoyed a night of two proms.

Thomas Clarkson Academy hosted celebrations for year 11 and year 13 students, with everything from a horse-drawn cart, to the mighty horsepower of a John Deere tractor transporting them to the venue.

The evening marked the end of school-life for year 13 pupils and the completion of GCSEs for year 11s.

Principal Richard Scott said: “It was great to see how much effort our students had put into their prom nights. There was an amazing range of transport and all the students looked very elegant.”

He added: “The evening was a good way to round-off a very busy, and occasionally stressful, time for our students and they were able to relax with their friends and mark the end of their exam year.”

The year groups held their events in different halls with a shared buffet for around 180 celebrating students.
