Students at Heworth Grange School in Gateshead, part of Consilium Academies, had great fun celebrating the end of their GCSE this summer at their school prom.

The students enjoyed a three-course meal followed by a disco.

Heworth Grange teachers also attended the prom, wishing the students all the very best for their next steps.

Head of Y11 at Heworth Grange School, Samantha Brooks, who organised the prom, said: “It has been an absolute privilege to work with this year’s Year 11 students - what a great bunch of young people.

“We wish them every success for the future and hope that they leave Heworth Grange not only with skills and qualifications, but with memories and friendships that will last a lifetime."
