Starting primary school is a big step for little ones and their families and over the years, the Larne Times photographers have captured those precious first days.

We’ve delved into the archives and turned up this great selection of P1 pupils from their first days at various schools across Larne between 2007 and 2019.

It’s sure to bring back a few memories.
