Teens enjoy a summer nights prom

GREASE was the word for teenage school leavers as they rock and rolled back the years for their summer night’s prom.

Staff, students and parents at The Dales School, Morton-on-Swale, slicked back their hair and donned swing out skirts for their 1950s grease inspired celebration.

Student Lewis Graham, 17, who came dressed in a leather jacket and black quiffed wig as leader of the T Birds Danny Zuko, said: “Grease is my favourite film ever.

“I really like the music and the dancing so I love the theme tonight.

“I have liked everything about being at The Dales School especially the teachers and I’m really going to miss them all when I leave.” 

The Pink ladies and T birds were treated to a luxury limousine ride before returning to their American diner decorated school hall for hot dogs, fries, pizza, ice-cream and bar-b-cued chicken.

Head teacher Hanne Barton added: “This will be my last prom at The Dales School as I will be leaving in the summer so it is a very poignant night for me.

“I have had a fabulous time here as head teacher and will be very sad to say good-bye to such a wonderful team of staff and students.

“The prom is definitely one of the main highlights of the year and a fabulous way for everyone to say goodbye.”
