10 old photos of children starting York schools in 2001

THESE photos will take many readers back!

We are taking you back to the year 2001 and sharing photos of new starters at a range of schools across York and Ryedale too.

To jog your memory of the time, in 2001 Tony Blair was the Prime Minister, Sven-Göran Eriksson became manager of the England football team, and York’s new Millennium Bridge opened to the public.

This gallery of photos accompanies one we shared last week, also of school starters in 2001.

You can see that article and look through the photos here: www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/26065172.13-photos-york-children-starting-school-2001.

Today’s article with its photo gallery will be one of a series we will be running in coming weeks.

Children in these photos will now be in their 20s – can you spot anyone you know?
