THE class of 2025 at Penrice School, St Austell, put on the style to celebrate their prom at the Atlantic Hotel in Newquay.

The joyful event was in sharp contrast to when the youngsters started their education at the school during the coronavirus pandemic.

Mrs Razzell, head of year 11, said: “What a display of colour and culture for our grand finale. Year 11 looked absolutely incredible and their behaviour was quite simply exemplary.

“After what was an extremely unprecedented start to their Penrice journey, covid seemed an eternity away as we celebrated in style.

“We basked in the sunshine with the Atlantic Ocean as our backdrop, took numerous photos and then danced the night away, all before the obvious tearful goodbyes.”
