Risedale School’s Year 11 pupils celebrated the end of an era in spectacular fashion on Friday 26th June at the Hall Garth Hotel in Darlington.
The Class of 2026 dressed to impress for the highly anticipated annual Prom, enjoying a brilliant evening of celebration, style, and non-stop dancing.
A major highlight of the evening was the crowning of the 2026 Prom King and Queen, with the honours going to 👑 James Pollock and Alix Campbell 👑 amid cheers from their peers.
The event’s success was made possible by the dedicated Risedale staff who organised the evening, alongside the hospitality team at the Hall Garth Hotel, who ensured the night was truly special for the departing year group. Pupils also enjoyed a photobooth experience provided by Double O Events, capturing fun keepsakes to remember the night.
Official photography for the evening was provided by Risedale's own Teacher of Design & Technology, Mrs Vizor (Kav Photography), who was on hand to capture all the magic of the event.
Reflecting on the celebration, Senior Teacher Mr Kirkbride praised the pupils and everyone involved in making the evening such a success:
"School staff extend a massive congratulations to the entire Class of 2026 for their achievements and their exemplary behaviour throughout the evening. It really was a night to remember. Congratulations to the Class of 2026!"
