The Watford Observer published an eight-page picture special of new starters at primary and infant schools across our area on Friday - and now you can enjoy seeing their faces on this page as well.

Our annual supplement has once again proved very popular and we thank each and every one of the 27 schools which have taken part.

Scroll down this page to see the first set of schools to be featured online.

These are Abbots Langley Primary School, Bushey & Oxhey Infant School, Cassiobury Infant School, Central Primary School, Cherry Tree Primary School, Chorleywood Primary School, Hartsbourne Primary School, Highwood Primary School and Holy Rood Catholic Primary School.

If your child is not among the classes featured, keep an eye on our website tomorrow and Monday when we’ll publish some more pictures from our First Class 2022 supplement.
