Students stepped out of an assortment of vehicles, from jaw-dropping luxury choices to the show-stopping outrageous.

The school hall was transformed for the evening with a stunning enchanted forest setting. Students and staff danced the night away and celebrated the end of all their hard work and the exam season.
