A former Braintree pupil is going back to school - this time as a teacher.
Nikki Coles joined John Ray Infants School in Notley Road, Braintree, as a pupil in 1983.
And now she's back on the other side of the desk after recently starting her first position there as a newly-qualified teacher.
Miss Coles, 23, will be teaching reception classes for the youngest children at the school.
"I qualified about a year ago and went travelling for a year.
"I came back planning to work locally and was lucky enough to get a job at John Ray," she said.
