THE class of 2022 arrived in style at The Mercure Hotel Haydock to celebrate Hope Academy's prom.

Prom season is here - complete with all the glitz and glamour and sparkle.

Having spent the past few weeks sitting their GCSEs, 15 and 16-year-olds across the area were given the chance to celebrate their time at school and attend Year 11 prom.

This year’s events promised to be extra special with some schools not having hosted prom since 2019 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Prom is the perfect opportunity to dress up in a stunning dress or smart suit and spend time with friends as teachers and school staff reward students for their hard work.

Here are some of the prom photos that were sent in by teachers, parents and students at Hope Academy.
