Sixth formers waved goodbye to their schooldays with a glamorous prom.
Nicola South,18, and her friend Sam Hoad, organised the leaving bash for Year 13 students at New Rickstones Academy, Witham.
The teenagers boarded a red double decker bus and headed for the Essex Golf and Country Club in Earls Colne, where they had a three course meal and disco.
