SCHOOL proms are something of a rarity this year.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, many schools have decided not to go ahead with events.

However, year 11 pupils at the LeAf Studio in Holloway Avenue in Bournemouth still got the chance to dress up in their finest clothes for a special celebration on Thursday, July 1.

All the photos taken by photographer Richard Crease can be found above in a gallery.
