Send us your 2021 back to school pictures
AFTER an unusual last school year, children are getting back into the classroom this week.
For some pupils, it will be their first day at primary or high school.
We're calling on proud parents in south Essex to share their pictures with us for our Back to School 2021 gallery!
If you would like to share your picture, please click the form below.
Remember to include your child's full name, school and the school year they are in.
Any submission without these details will not be included.

We hope you have all had a wonderful start to the new school year!
