Children of all ages have returned to school this week - with reception and nursery classes taking their first steps into the world of education.
Here we take a look back at the various activities, events and achievements of schools, teachers, students and pupils from across Harrogate, Wetherby and Knaresborough.
The pictures, from the Harrogate Advertiser archives, were all taken between ten and 11 years ago.
Do you recognise yourself in these images or were you a pupil at any of the schools featured on this week’s retro page?
Send your pictures for a future Retro page to [email protected]. Please include details about the image, along with your name and contact details.
