We hope your children enjoyed their first day back at school! Who took photos of their child's first day back? We'd love to see them in the comments below. A special shout-out to our Year 6 families who will have taken their last ever 'first day' primary school photographs. We'd particularly love to see those first day of Year 6 photos alongside their very first day in Reception pictures. It will be amazing to see how much they've grown!
