patsylabrador Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 You've set me off again. I can't even understand why 11 year olds should have a prom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poachedegg Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Not all primaries have proms - ours certainly doesn't! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Rosie's didn't, they had a passing out ceremony though where they get to ring the old school bell. I can't imagine why on earth they'd want a prom at that age. I had to explain to Rosie about proms - they are new to me too, being an American import and after my time.

Goosey Lucy Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 So glad it's not just me. The boys' current school doesn't have a specific Leaver's party but they do get to spend the profits the tuck shop made during the year. last year they had a day trip and takeaway pizzas. At Easter the Juniors made sandwiches, crispy cakes and hot cross buns for the school then we all sat together in the Hall for a tea party. Brilliant. Even my Secondary school didn't have a prom, just an end of term disco where the school hall was festooned with 3 rolls of streamers, the lights were turned off and the teachers circulated making sure no-one was smoking in the loos. Oh Happy Days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Oh good grief. Trouble is how do you top that for the 'proper' prom? DD had a prom when she left 6th form, they all looked beautiful and split the cost of a stretch limo by about 12 of them. Totally new on me then too. I just remember smiling as I left the school and that was it. No party nothing. Times have certainly changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluekarin Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 That is plain ridiculous. When my ED left, and this will be happening for DS in a few weeks, they had a leavers assembly in the local church where they all put a star with their name on onto a board (I cried lots ). They also did a year 6 production which was excellent. And the final bash was a BBQ and games on the field. On the last day they all signed each others school sweatshirts.
