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

It’s that time of year again – social media is flooded with photos of the little ones standing proudly at the front door, all kitted out and ready for their first day at school!

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 (and some parents too) from schools in Garvagh, Ballycastle, Coleraine, Portrush, Portstewart, Ballycastle, Cloughmills and more.

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