Thousands of Isle of Wight children headed back to the school this week for the start of the new school year.

We asked you if you would like to share your first day at school pictures with us - and many mums and dads kindly sent as photos.

Scroll through our gallery of photos above to see more...

We had pictures of children going to primary and secondary schools for the first time, as well as those who were returning to schools for another year.

We had more pictures than we could fit on our pages, so if your photo isn't here, don't worry...we will be running another gallery next week!

If you missed the opportunity to send a picture of your child's first day at school to us last week, fear not - there's still time to send one in, simply click on the submissions box below.
