King’s Lynn sixth-formers leave in style

Following some outstanding A Level results, the Class of 2025 had plenty to celebrate when they reunited for the Year 13 Springwood High School Prom.

Almost 200 Sixth Form graduates arrived in style at the Duke’s Head Hotel in King’s Lynn, sporting an array of glamorous evening wear, and delivered to the door in a range of eye-catching vehicles, from classic cars to vintage motors.

The venue had been transformed into a ‘casino’ for the evening, complete with black and gold balloons, casino tables, and a sequinned wall. 

In keeping with the theme, there were games of blackjack and roulette on offer, as well as a dancefloor and DJ, while a photobooth enabled partygoers to commemorate the occasion with a lasting souvenir.

“Our Year 13 Prom was a truly special evening, and a wonderful way to celebrate the end of our students’ sixth-form journey,” said Luke Rawling, Head of Year 13 at the school, part of the West Norfolk Academies Trust.

“The casino theme gave the night a real sense of glamour, with students arriving in their evening gowns and suits looking absolutely fantastic. It was such a joy to see them relaxing, laughing, and enjoying themselves after the hard work and dedication they have shown throughout their A Level studies.

“The dance floor was full all evening, and there was a real sense of pride and togetherness in the room, as we marked not just the exams, but the friendships, resilience, and achievements that define their time at Springwood.”

“I couldn’t be prouder of this year group,” he added. “They have been an exceptional cohort, and this night was a fitting send off, as they now move on to exciting futures at university, in apprenticeships, and beyond.”
