This time of year is important in the lives of so many young people. Whether they are leaving primary or junior school, or are bidding farewell to secondary school, the range of emotions can be vast as students get set for the next chapter, while others are getting ready to move up to the next year.

The Watford Observer celebrated the end of the school year by publishing an eight-page ‘School’s Out 2022’ picture special with Friday’s newspaper, featuring 34 end of term photos.

If you have yet to pick up a copy or simply want to enjoy the photos again, scroll down this page for the first batch of pictures from the supplement.

We’ll bring you a second selection tomorrow morning.
