It’s a lovely reminder of a very special time for the children, their families, friends and teachers.
Our Gazette photographers went out and about in 2013 to take these images of pupils in their first school photo.
Can you spot someone you know? Take a look and enjoy these reminders of a wonderful moment.
And watch out for more reception class photos coming soon.
