The evening celebrated the achievements of the school’s students - from academic attainment, to kindness, helpfulness and succeeding in the face of adversity.

A school spokesman said: “With inspirational stories of success, dance exhibitions from students interspersed throughout the ceremony, and lots of laughter courtesy of Eddie the Eagle’s anecdotes, it was a wonderfully uplifting evening of celebration and a perfect way to round off another school year.”
