Our annual First Class supplement returned to bring our readers hundreds of smiling faces belonging to reception class children who began their education journey in September.

We would like to wish all the children featured in this year's supplement a wonderful school year and the best of luck in the future.

We would also like to extend our thanks to the schools for submitting these photos. Unless otherwise specified, all photo credits belong to the schools who submitted them.
