Description

Twins Faith and Sam Renton arrived at Blackford School this morning north of Carlisle for their first day.

Dressed in their uniforms and clutching their school satchels the four-year-olds, of Lowry Hill, Carlisle, are lucky to have older siblings Amy, eight, and Oliver, six, at the school.

Mum Tracy Renton said: “I don’t know what I will do with myself now that they have gone to school.

“ I think I will have some me time.

“Faith and Sam are lucky because they have their older brother Oliver in the same class.”

There were eight new starters at Blackford School this morning.

Headteacher Linda Smith said: “We have 50 children at the school split into two classes, Faith and Sam are not the first twins that we have had in school.

“We did have a set of identical twin boys that have just left to go to Trinity.

“Everyone is nervous on their first day but they soon get used to it and it gets a bit easier.”
