STROUD High School and Marling students gathered at Hatherley Manor Hotel in Cheltenham for their end of year prom on Wednesday.
The 17th Century manor house hosted nearly 300 students and teachers for the evening which featured a three course meal, music plus professional photos taken by Gordon Singer Images.
Students arrived in a range of vehicles and looked immaculate in formal suits and dresses.
The ball marked the end of GCSEs and while some students are staying on at the joint sixth form, others had to say an emotional farewell to classmates and teachers.
Students took advantage of the manor’s 37 acres of garden for a stroll and for photographs on one of the warmest days of the year.
It all ended with students singing along to Alice Cooper's Schools Out after a memorable evening.
