IN SEPTEMBER, youngsters all over Andover and surrounding areas started school for the first time.

Every year, the Advertiser captures photos of boys and girls in their new classes to mark the milestone.

As the reception classes of 2022 finish the first half term of their school lives, we're excited to be running our traditional First Class picture special for parents, grandparents and other family members to treasure for years to come.

Here, you can see the photos of all 33 classes we featured in this year's supplement.

To get a copy of the photos yourself, contact the relevant schools. The Advertiser does not own the copyright of the photos in the supplement.
