YOUNG students across the Andover area have taken their first steps in their new schools and throughout the weeks we will be posting their First Class photos for you to view.

We've prepared a series of galleries of all of the reception classes from around the area, as the students venture into new academic adventures.

Take a look at some of the class photos of pupils from Wellington Primary Academy, St Mary Bourne, Zouch School, Portway Infant School, Shipton Bellinger, Whitchurch and Norman Gate.

Check back over the weeks as we upload the rest of the series.
