As young children across Sheffield start school for the very first time, we have searched our archives to bring you these photographs of reception classes across the region in the 1990s

Bracken Hill, Lydgate Infants, Meersbrook Bank and Tinsley Infants are just some of the schools featured in our gallery.

Do you recognise anyone you know?
