Thousands of Peterborough children are photographed by The Peterborough Telegraph every year as they start school for the first time.
Photographer David Lowndes will be visiting almost every Peterborough primary school over the coming weeks, to capture their big moment.
Here, we take a look back to 2023, to see some of the pictures of children starting school – we will feature the other pictures from 2023 over the coming days
