There were sports cars, motorbikes, classic cars, a double-decker bus, and even a Scooby Doo-style ‘Mystery Machine’, when graduating students from Smithdon High School arrived for their Leavers’ Prom on Thursday 26 June.

The Class of 2025 were greeted by friends, family, and well-wishers as they reached Knights Hill Hotel in King’s Lynn for a night of well-earned celebration.

The 73 Year 11 students were dressed for the occasion, with a host of colourful ball gowns, cocktail dresses, and evening wear on display.

Inside, the venue boasted a suitably celebratory red, gold, and black colour scheme, which had been chosen by the Year 11 Student Leadership Team, and included tables decorated with balloons in the appropriate shades.

Entry was via laminated tickets which had been designed to act as lasting souvenirs of the evening, while attractions on offer included a pizza buffet, and disco.

There was also a sweet cart stocked with traditional confectionery, along with a commemorative photo booth, which allowed the partygoers to preserve their memories for prosperity.

The Year 11 students were joined by members of staff for the event, which was supported by Hunstanton Charity Shop.

“It was great to celebrate our students’ end of schooling at Smithdon High School,” said Dan Ward, Assistant Headteacher and Head of Years 10 and 11 at our school, which is part of the West Norfolk Academies Trust.

“Everyone enjoyed the evening.”
