STUDENTS danced the night away at their Year 11 prom.
The Samuel Whitbread Academy pupils celebrated finishing their GCSEs by gathering at Offley Place in Hitchin. The prom was held on Tuesday, July 17.
More than 300 students and teachers attended the annual prom, which was held in the gardens of Offley Place in a marquee.
The Clifton students had been looking forward to their prom night after a long year of studying for their examinations.
The girls wore their very best dressed for the occasion and really took advantage of the chance to wear their ballgowns.
A grand firework display ended the evening with a suitable bang.
For some of the students this was the last time they will see each other for a while as they go their separate ways into work and further education.
Others will be returning to the academy as sixth formers in September.
