The students are saying goodbye to good friends and those precious school memories that will last a lifetime as they approach a new chapter.
A Ripon Grammar School spokesperson said: “Following a challenging 18 months of lockdowns and social distancing, our RGS leavers at last heard the words they've been waiting for: 'Yes, you shall go to the ball!'.”
