After stepping inside, students were able to enjoy drinks, canapes and entertainment on the old palace garden terrace, followed by a two-course dinner and dancing in the Hayward Theatre later on into the evening.

Head of King’s Ely Senior, Johnathan Shaw, said: “It was a delight to celebrate with pupils and parents at the sixth form leavers’ midsummer ball.

“It was a reminder of how long many parents have been loyal supporters of the school. Over 20 years for some.

“It was a tremendous event, with a real sense of community between parents, pupils and staff; a fitting way to mark the end of their journey at King’s Ely.”

He added: “My advice to pupils is to always stay in touch with the school and, above all, stay in touch with each other.”
