September saw the arrival of hundreds of new faces at our primary schools – and we're delighted to capture them in these special pages.

We've been delighted to show thousands of youngsters taking their first steps on the education ladder.

The world has moved on at great speed and the young people who appeared in our 1995 publications are now young adults.

We wish all the youngsters in this supplement the very best of good fortune and hope that they can find the right balance between hard work and enjoying life to the full.

From the expressions on some of the faces in tonight's supplement, you can see there is a mixture of hope, anticipation – and, in some cases, a little trepidation.

To the children in today's supplement the Star wishes you all an exciting and productive journey through the world of education. Have fun, for sure, but learn great lessons from your teachers – they will prepare you for a fantastic life beyond school.
