Reaching new heights: Ormiston Maritime Academy teacher sky dives for student prom

The Technology teacher has faced new heights to support her students, completing a daredevil skydive to raise money to make the Year 11 Prom a night to remember.

As the school, part of Ormiston Academies Trust, looks to celebrate a year of hard work and dedication for its Year 11 cohort, the end of year prom is a well-deserved celebration bringing students and friends together as they remember their time together.

Teacher Gemma Morgan has gone one step further as part of creating exciting memories for her students, completing an exhilarating sky dive to raise money which goes towards support the celebration, including glamourous venue, decorations, and delicious food.

As the students prepare to take their GCSEs and next steps in education, Prom night will be an exciting festivity to look forward to

Gemma Morgan, Technology teacher at Ormiston Maritime Academy, said:

“I am so proud of all our Year 11 students for their hard work and commitment over the past year, and I know they are all super excited for their upcoming prom as a chance to celebrate their success and memories at Ormiston Maritime Academy together.

"I thought a sky dive would be an exciting way to show my support and encouragement for all their hard work, but also a fun way to help raise some additional money to make their Prom an amazing evening – and I am so glad I did it! I’m really excited to see all their dedication pay off and to celebrate their achievements at a fabulous Prom in the summer!”
