Dear Parent/Carer,
Preparations are currently underway for the 2025 Year 11 Memorabilia and Prom, which will be held in the Royal Hall at the Villa Marina. The date is provisionally booked for Wednesday 2nd July 2025, although this could be subject to change.
Participation/Consent:
To produce the memorabilia items, the student’s name and photo will be printed in the yearbook, along with a personal comment. Their name will also be printed on the hoodies. If you choose to not purchase a yearbook or hoodie and your child would not like their image and name to be used in the book, please contact bhsenquiries@sch.im to opt out.
By signing up for a yearbook or hoodie, you are giving permission for Ballakermeen to share your child’s name, image and personal comment with a third party.
Leavers Hoodies:
This year, hoodies will be supplied by Fizz Hoodies and are available to order and pay for directly from their website at the cost of £28.99. Whilst optional, they have always proven a popular keepsake.

Unique ID: IM0003YR11
The deadline for orders is Friday 17th January 2025. After that date, no further orders will be accepted.
We have sample sizes in the KS4 office for your child to try on. It is very important that you choose the correct size hoody as due to the custom design there will be no exchanges once the order has been placed.
All orders will be delivered direct to school for you to collect. We will advise when this will be in due course.
Yearbook & Prom Payments:
Payments for a yearbook and Prom tickets can only be made via ParentPay which will automatically notify when you log in that the payments are due. If you do not have access to ParentPay please contact the school office at bhsenquiries@sch.im to arrange. No cash or cheque payments will be accepted.
Due to the tight timescales, Yearbooks must be ordered via ParentPay at a cost of £15.00 by Friday 10th January 2025.
Prom Tickets for £25.00 will be due on or before the following dates: Friday 28th February 2025: £15.00, Friday 28th March 2024: £10.00.
Please note that there will be no extensions to these deadlines as the funds are required to secure the orders with our suppliers. If your child has medical or dietary/allergy requirements, please ensure the information is completed through ParentPay via the Prom Ticket option before payment is made.
Please also be aware that even if payment is made, we reserve the right to withdraw the invitation to the Prom as outlined in the letter issued on 16th September 2024.
You will receive more details of the Prom nearer to the event time. We aim to distribute the year books prior to Year 11 Leavers Day, which will be Friday 25th April 2025.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs Babb
Head of Year 11
