The Watford Observer published a 12-page picture special on Friday of schools across our area enjoying some festive fun in the build-up to Christmas - and now you can enjoy seeing their faces on this page as well.

Our annual supplement has once again proved very popular and we thank each and every one of the 16 schools who have taken part.

Scroll down this page to see the first set of schools to be featured online.
