Last weekend, we welcomed over 250 guests to our Midsummer Ball held in a marquee on Stoney. Guests included our 2025 leavers, who had become Old Suttonians earlier in the week, as well as their parents, parents from other year groups in the School and staff. The event was the largest we had ever hosted and we are grateful to everyone who booked to attend.
Upon arrival, guests were greeted with a glass of fizz in the sunshine, followed by a delicious three course meal, provided by The Kitchen of Kent, and spectacular fireworks. The evening was rounded off by dancing the night away to DJ Francis Renato.
Thanks go to Mrs Dawling, Mrs Esposito, Mrs Hanna, Mrs Lee, Mrs Le Roux and Mrs Ratcliffe who formed this year’s Ball Committee and ensured the evening was a great success.
