Head teacher learns mobility lesson from pupils

The headteacher of a lower school in Bedfordshire that's divided into two different sites has always faced the same dilemma - how can she go between them without taking too much time?

Virginia Gilks found driving and walking from one site to the other too time-consuming. So she's taken a lesson from her pupils, and now uses a scooter

She has cut her journey time between the two sites from ten minutes to just three, and she hopes that by whizzing around on her scooter, it will encourage her pupils to opt for healthy and environmentally friendly methods of transport.
