Hundreds of youngsters across Maidstone, Weald, and Malling have started school - and we were there to capture this momentous occasion.

Our hugely-popular First Class supplement will appear in the KM published on October 12, featuring pictures of your child and their new school friends.

It will be an unmissable opportunity to have a lasting keep-sake of their start to school life, so make sure you pick up a copy.
