Grove Academy leavers have celebrated the end of their school days at their Final Fling.

Their prom was held at Piperdam Leisure Resort on Tuesday evening.

And our photographer was there to capture the special moment.

Young people dressed up for the occasion in gowns, suits and kilts and made it a night to remember.

Grove Academy prom is featured in our Class of ’23 series, in which we are showcasing pictures from some of the leavers’ proms and dances for secondary schools across Tayside and Fife.
