The Queen Hotel in Chester was the venue for a school celebration as pupils at Blacon High School held their Year 11 leavers’ prom.
Students arrived in style at the venue, dressed for an evening of entertainment and celebration.
After a welcome reception of soft drinks, many students posed for photographs before sitting down with staff members to a formal dinner.
The evening continued with many prizes including the hotly contested prom king and queen, which this year went to Archie Tushingham and Rebecca Wilton-King.
Later, students and staff danced the night away and there were many emotional farewells as the evening drew to a close.
This year’s prom was especially poignant as Blacon High School closes its doors on its original building for good in July before moving into a new, purpose-built school in September.
Headteacher Sue Yates said: “It was a special occasion for looking back, but also thinking about the bright future that our students will enjoy. The evening was full of laughter and demonstrated the strong and respectful relationships that exist in our school.
“We will miss our Year 11 students but they will always be part of Blacon High School’s lasting community.”
