RAIN failed to dampen the spirits of Gordano School students as they prepared to head for their prom night at the Webbington Hotel.

Glamorous dresses, suits and spectacular hair styles made the Portishead School look more like the venue for a Hollywood premier than a place of education.

With the celebrations over, the pupils will begin sitting their GCSE exams.
