As Kent and Medway's new reception pupils get to grips with life in school, we are preparing to mark the moment with special keepsake supplements.

The first school term of the new school year is well underway and thousands of four and five-year-olds have taken those important early steps into the world of learning.

Enjoying new friends, meeting new staff and finding their way around different surroundings is all an important part of their journey.

We hope to celebrate the occasion with our annual First Class supplements.

Our colourful brilliant pull-outs, which can take a special place in memory boxes for years to come, will feature photographs of pupils pictured with their classmates and teaching staff and most importantly - in their shiny new uniforms.

We will bring all these pictures together from more than 200 Kent schools for the hugely popular First Class specials available from Wednesday, November 6 inside the following KM Group newspapers…
