IT’S been a big day for children across St Helens as they’ve gone back to school after the long summer holidays.
For some, this was their first day in reception as they start school for the first time.
We asked you to share photos of your child on their first day, whether they were beginning reception or Year 11.
Here is a selection of your photos.
