Are your little ones in our Mansfield retro school photo album of new starters?

Brand new uniform, which they’d grow into of course, shiny shoes and big smiles – who can you spot in these throwback pictures of reception class new starters from more than five years ago?

Remind yourself just how little your little ones were when they started school for the first time with these lovely pictures.
