Prom this year at Varndean will be held in early May -2 months earlier than usual and just 3 DAYS before our all-important first GCSE exam! This is bad news as it could jeopardize our valuable study time, and also means that we will not have a proper conclusion to our 5 years together as a year group. How can we celebrate the most key years of our lives so far if we have to worry about the exams in the weeks that follow? By signing this petition, you are helping with our campaign so that our prom can be held not only at a more traditional later date, but also at a more convenient time so that we as, a year group, can focus on getting the grades we need and deserve. Thank you.

I have requested a formal meeting with school administration to discuss why the current prom date conflicts with our exam preparation schedule. We are now drafting a proposal for a later date that avoids this clash with our academic responsibilities.

The administration has acknowledged the volume of this petition and requested a formal meeting to discuss the schedule. I am currently drafting a letter that outlines our specific concerns regarding the proximity of the event to our examinations. Expect a report on the outcome of that conversation once it concludes.

so stupid. we worked hard for 5 years and now they want to ruin the celebration by putting it before the tests. let us actually have fun without stressing about revision.

TOTAL MADNESS. how are we supposed to study with a prom dress or suit on our minds? keep it after the exams like every other year.

This is ridiculous. having prom right before the biggest exams of our lives is just setting everyone up to fail. move the date
