Proud dad Peter Andre was left to do the honours and posted an emotional tribute to his kids as wife Emily drove them.
Earlier, this week Katie missed daughter 4-year-old Bunny's first day at school while partying in Majorca with new toyboy Alex Adderson.
In proud dad Pete's clip today, Junior, 13, and Princess, 11, were in the back – with their seat belts on – as Peter recorded a teary video.
He said: "Right, here we go! First day of high school, I cannot believe it!
"Oh my gosh! First days, guys! Junior starts his drama scholarship!
"Both of them are going to secondary school today for the first time!"
He also posted a picture of Junior and Princess posing in their school uniforms outside their front door.
He captioned the snap: "And here they go. Very first day at High School.
"They said if I get emotional they’re gonna tell everyone I’m not their dad.
"I’m like ‘I can’t help the pollen count’. Good luck kids!"
Katie missed daughter Bunny’s first day of school so she could continue her boozy getaway in Spain – just days after her split with younger boyfriend Kris Boyson.
She instead left ex-husband Kieran Hayler with the job of getting Bunny and her older brother Jett, 5, ready for school.
Over the weekend, the mum-of-five was pictured groping her new beau, who went public with their romance on Sunday.
The Sun revealed how under-fire Katie met wealthy model Alex — who is pals with Towie’s Sam Mucklow and Jake Hall — weeks before she split from Kris, after they were introduced by mutual friends.
A source said: “Nobody can believe she’s not around for this.
"It’s a huge deal and Kieran is doing it on his own as she parties.
“It’s caused yet another rift between them.”
Kieran has shared a number of clips on Instagram of himself hanging out with Jett and Bunny over the last week.
