LUCKY York students were chauffeur driven in a stretched limousine to celebrate their last day of school.

Eight Year 11 students from Lowfields School, Acomb, won the film-star treatment after their names were picked out of a hat.

Last year the school held a competition for the best-performing student to win the treat, but decided as all of Year 11 had worked so hard it would be fairer to pick the names out of a hat.

Assistant head teacher Ish Herd said: "We were very proud of the Year 11 pupils this year so we decided to make it luck of the draw. They loved it and were very excited. The rest of the school was lining the school drive clapping and cheering them on."
