Youngsters at Barkerend Primary School were treated to a taste of life in the fast lane when a new Audi R8 pulled up at the school gates.

The Year 6 pupils, whose parents had attended a transition meeting about moving up to secondary school, were photographed inside the sports car as a reward.

Azar Sarooq Rehman, a learning mentor at the school, who arranged the event, said: “Kids love sports cars. They will remember this for the rest of their lives.”
