Newmarket Academy students step out in style at their end of year prom

Newmarket Academy’s Year 11 students said farewell to their school in style on Thursday.

Bedford Lodge hotel was the venue for the school’s annual prom celebration, when more than 100 students dressed to impress as they made it a night to remember from the start, arriving in a variety of ways.

Rosie Dudgeon came with dad Simon in a fire engine while Zachary Cox and Elsie Paynter stepped out of a Ferrari. Ryan Clayton arrived by motorbike while Esme Arnolda rode in on horseback.

“Once again, our Year 11 Prom was a very special experience for our young people, their families and our staff. Thank you to everyone who gave our really fantastic Year 11s a great send off,” said academy headteacher Martin Witter.

“Thank you to their parents and carers for their support over the past five years and a massive thank you to all our partners who made this event possible, with a really special thank you to all the staff at Bedford Lodge for hosting Newmarket Academy again.”
