29 photos of children going back to school in the Portadown, Craigavon and Lurgan areas

After the summer break, many of our children went back to school this week, some for the very first time.

Here we are sharing some of the wonderful photos sent to us of our young people in their brand new school uniforms.

Full of smiles and expectation, these children are starting their first foray into the world of education and learning.

We are hoping they have lots of fun, make plenty of friends and have many, many years of fruitful learning.
