First Class 2023 is here! It’s our annual celebration of the P1 pupils in our communities who are beginning their journeys at schools across the region.

We wish all P1 pupils the best as they start learning, playing and making friends in their new classes.

We’ll be publishing online galleries of schoolchildren all across Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Moray and the Highlands from November 6 to 11.

Here is your second gallery of photos, from Aberdeenshire schools.

We’ll have one more day of Aberdeenshire P1 school photos tomorrow, before our Aberdeen City primary 1 school galleries start on Thursday.
