MORE than a hundred school pupils celebrated finishing their GCSEs by attending a US-style prom.

Walthamstow Academy, in Billet Road, hosted the event, which included a disco, dinner, soft drinks and awards presented to the best dressed boy and girl and to star students.

An Academy spokeswoman said: "It was a wonderful event and a fabulous way to reward the commitment and hard work the year group has undertaken during their time at the Academy.

"The students dressed up for the occasion with the girls opting for fantastic evening dresses and the boys looking extremely smart in stylish suits."
