Year 11 students from James Calvert Spence College (JCSC), Amble celebrated finishing their exams with a prom at The Alnwick Garden.
Over the past year, staff from the school have organised a series of fundraising activities and requested financial support from local businesses, to ensure that the students enjoyed an unforgettable send off.
The highlight of the night was a surprise music performance by three members of the JCSC staff; Mr Rodgers (Executive Headteacher) on guitar, Mrs Payne (Assistant Headteacher) on vocals and Teacher, Mr Smith on bass, accompanied by local drummer & musician, David O’hara; performed three pop songs to the staff and students attending. The performance was followed by a farewell video shown on a big screen, where staff from the school were recorded sharing their goodbyes to year 11 pupils.
Head of Year 11, Ms Bailey said: “The evening was huge success, with mocktails on arrival, a photo booth, caricature artist, a 360 degree video booth, candy floss machine, magician and disco. There wasn’t a dry eye in the venue during the performance and video, it was such a lovely tribute to our Year 11’s! Thank you so much to the staff for their fundraising efforts and to our all our local sponsors for their contributions. We wish our class of 2024 all the very best for their bright futures ahead of them.”
