WITH exams over and the school term coming to a close for the summer holidays, plenty of schools are celebrating their students' successes with prom nights.
Although originally thought of as an American tradition, it is now commonplace to see year 11 and year 13 students donning their suits and prom gowns to celebrate the end of the school year or mark the conclusion of part of their education.

We asked schools in our area to send in their prom pictures so that students would have a keepsake to remember the night with.
If you would like to see your own prom pictures in this gallery, email them to sara.royle@nqnw.co.uk
