'A smash hit' - prom fair fashion show at Boston-area school raises hundreds for Year 11 prom (GALLERY)

Final year pupils at a school near Boston have extra reason to look forward to their upcoming prom following a successful fundraising event.

On Tuesday, Thomas Middlecott Academy, in Kirton, staged a prom fair fashion show in aid of its 2023 Year 11 send-off.

“The Prom Fayre was a smash hit, with around 100 people in attendance and £500 raised. The success is truly reflective of the enthusiasm our children have for the prom itself.

“We’d like to thank all those who joined us and those who contributed to the event. We’re now very much looking forward to the big day, which will be all the more spectacular thanks to the money raised.”

Thomas Middlecott Academy in Kirton will be hosting a Prom Fayre fashion show on Tuesday 31 January, 6-8pm, raising funds for the Year 11 Prom later in the year.

Local Lincolnshire businesses, including Fancy Frox and Suits Direct, both from Spalding, and The Salon, from Kirton, will be providing outfits and styling for catwalk models.

In addition to the catwalk fashion show, various trade stands will be set up, offering beauty services, jewellery and more!

The Prom Fayre will also offer attendees the opportunity to win incredible raffle prizes, such as a one-to-one golf lesson at Away Resorts, a family day pass to Tattershall Farm Park, tickets to a Boston United game, and even a day with an electric Mini, including Afternoon Tea at the Petwood Hotel in Woodhall Spa.

Kimberley Willmott, Executive Principal, Thomas Middlecott Academy, comments:

“This will be our first Prom Fayre since the pandemic and we’ve made it our biggest and best yet. Never have we had such amazing prizes on offer, and the support from local businesses is incredibly heartwarming.

“The Prom means so much to our Year 11 leavers, especially after the past few years in which they’ve handled the unprecedented circumstances with extraordinary resilience. They deserve a fun send off and we hope the Prom Fayre will enable us to give them an extra special experience.”

The Prom Fayre is open to all and takes place Tuesday 31 January, 6-8pm, at Thomas Middlecott Academy, with a £2.50 entry fee.

“We’d like to thank all those who joined us and those who contributed to the event. We’re now very much looking forward to the big day, which will be all the more spectacular thanks to the money raised.”
