IT’S that time of year again!

If you’ve got a child or grandchild in reception you won’t want to miss our First Class reception class picture supplement in this week’s Warrington Guardian – out in shops this Thursday.

All schools in Warrington were invited to take part and 95 reception classes from across the town are featured in this very special 2023 new starters edition.

Warrington Guardian deputy editor Gareth Dunning said: “Thanks to all the schools that have been able to take part this year.

“It has been brilliant to see almost all of our town’s primary schools take part in this year’s feature, so thank you to the reception teachers and assistants for their help in putting it together.”

All the pictures were taken by our photographer Dave Gillespie and images can be purchased / requested by emailing newsdesk@guardiangrp.co.uk

In return for the high resolution images, we are asking parents, grandparents and carers to make a donation to the campaign to remember Brianna Ghey, who was killed in Warrington in February.
