School proms are just one of many social events which have been curtailed since the outbreak in March 2020.
But the important end-of-year milestone was not be missed by these selfless Tupton Hall School students who - despite having their prom posptoned and later cancelled due to Covid-19 - got dressed up anyway to make some memories.
In doing so, they managed to raise more than £149 to split between two children’s charities – The Rainbow Trust and Make a Wish.
Here are 11 photos of the students dressed to the nines for their ‘formal Friday’ fundraising day on July 2.
