It's a time every parent, grandparent and carer feels proud - a child's first days at school are precious to many.
And this year pictures of Reception classes across the Isle of Wight are set to be published in a souvenir edition of the County Press in our popular First Class feature.
You can pick up First Class in your normal copy of the Isle of Wight County Press - the UK's best selling weekly newspaper - in all good shops on Friday, October 11.
