STUDENTS celebrated their first steps towards adulthood with a school prom at Dunston Hall.

More than 100 young people from the year 11 class at Flegg High School dressed in their finest and arrived in style with a horse and carriage and stretch limos ferrying youngsters to the occasion. The prom was organised by the year 11 committee who worked hard to make sure the event went as smoothly as possible.

Ryan Cox, the Prom King pictured with Shannon Walton, said: “The evening was a great success for everyone. The Prom King is very prestigious accolade and I was shocked but honoured that my peers voted for me.”
