The schools continue to welcome students in the coming days.
For many, it will be their first day ever, whether they're starting primary or making the leap to high school.

We've been asking the Gazette readers from across Basingstoke to share photos of their youngsters' as they set off for their first day.

From first day of school or back to classroom, we have been getting photos from many proud parents and grandparents.

Hopefully it's been a time of shiny shoes, bright white polo tops and smiles, and there are still more schools back in business next week.

So if your little ones or big kids have started or returned to the classroom, you can still get in touch.

Maybe you're a new teacher or one with more experience under your belt, we would love to see your smiling faces too.

You can use the link below to share your photos, or you can email your details to kiran.sajan@basingstokegazette.co.uk
