In June our Sheldon School Class of 2026 celebrated the end of Year 11 in style at our annual Prom at Grittleton House. It was a beautiful evening and a wonderful send off for our students after working so hard during exams. In fact, a lucky few even had exams that morning before assembling their glam squad!

In true Sheldon style, the students arrived in wide variety of vehicles. We saw everything from classic cars to tanks, busses to wheelbarrows and a very impressive motorcycle entourage! The dresses were every colour of the rainbow and the suits looked sharp. After arrivals, our guests of honour enjoyed a buffet, photobooth, casino and dancing into the late hours on the gorgeous garden terrace. A few even managed to watch a little of the England match!

The evening would not have been possible without the organisation of our Year 11 Pastoral Team of Mrs Oxley, Mr Bowen and Mr Merriman. Thank you to all the staff, parents and members of the Sheldon community who came out to watch the arrivals and celebrate our amazing students. We'd also like to thank all of the Sheldon Class of 2026 for helping make the night so special. We hope you all have a wonderful summer and we look forward to seeing you on Results Day -- Thursday 20 August at 8:30am in the Sheldon Sixth Form Study Room.

We'd also like to thank the following people:

Yazmine Simpkins from The Balloon Event Company

Ashley Barratt for donating £500 from his company for decorations

Tom Monteith from Platinum Music & Events for providing the photobooth and DJ

Jamie Silk from Fun Casino Fun

Wayne and the team from Five Star Security

Caroline Buston from CRB Engineering for donating the table displays, candelabras and ribbons on the chairs

Mr and Mrs Case from Case Accounting for donating £100 for decorations

Bryony and all the team at Grittleton House for their support in coordinating the event

 

Having worked in many schools I can say that the environment at Sheldon School is one of the best I’ve ever seen. The standard of education and relationships I built with teachers were exceptional.
