WELCOME to First Class the new weekly feature launching in The Chronicle this week.

Every week we will feature a photograph of the reception class from a school in our City, Country or Frodsham & Helsby edition areas.

As well as featuring in the newspaper, there is an opportunity for parents, teachers and friends to order copies of the photographs as a record of this milestone in every child’s life. We begin First Class by highlighting the new reception class at Belgrave Primary School in Chester.

Next week: Guilden Sutton reception pupils. See First Class in The Chronicle on Thursday, September 29.
