THE summer holidays are over and the days of early mornings and school runs have returned.
With the school year starting in September each year children all over the Vale of Glamorgan - and across the UK - have started or returned to school.
That includes Ysgol Pen-Y-Garth in Penarth (pictured above).
Plus, there is the new reception class at St Joseph's RC Primary School in Penarth who were welcomed by Mrs Austin and Mrs Batten.
Headteacher, Laura Taylor, said:
"They have settled in beautifully!"
Victoria Primary School also welcomed new pupils for a year of learning.
Schools in Barry also welcomed children back to school, including at Gladstone Primary School - pictured are pupils who will be taught by Miss Jones, Mrs Bluett, and Mrs White.
