20 photos from our archives looking back at those 'first days at school'

The blazers are just a little bit too long, the shoes are shining and the lunch boxes are packed with healthy snacks – first days at school for our little P1s around the Borough.

Here we take a look back through our photographic archives at some memories of those first days at school from the 2000s.

There’s pictures of smiling little P1s from schools in Armoy, Ballymoney, Coleraine, Portrush, Rashakin and more.

Take a look and see if you can recognise anyone...
