YEAR 13 completed their seven year journey "in style" on Wednesday, June 25 with an awards ceremony, followed by a lunch at Hornsbury Mill.
 
The ceremony took place on Wednesday, June 25, starting with some canapés and an awards ceremony in the Sixth Form Study Centre.
 
This was immediately followed by a congratulatory lunch at Hornsbury Mill.
 
 
 
 
A school spokesperson said: "Whilst the students all looked very beautiful, it was the smiles which they wore which really stole the day.
 
"Our Leavers Lunch is a wonderful moment which recognises not only the hard work our students have put in over the last two to seven years but also the lifelong friendships they have formed and the way they have turned into such extraordinary young adults.
 
"It is my utter pleasure to work so closely with these exceptional young minds and I shall miss them dearly.
 
"I hope they look back at their time at Holyrood with affection and pride. They can be confident that they will be remembered fondly by their teachers and are welcome back whenever they may wish to return."
 
Mrs Felicity Challis, Head of Sixth Form added: "I would like to wish them all the very best and encourage them, in whatever field of endeavour they pursue, to get involved and really enjoy themselves."
