AN AMBULANCE had to be called to a school in Cudworth after a schoolboy fell off his scooter.

The Birkwood Primary year four pupil hurt himself after he misjudged his speed after school last Wednesday.

Headteacher Julie Allen said: "Thankfully it was not serious but some children have been causing a hazard for cars on the road.

"I spoke to the children in assembly the following Monday about taking extra care.

"I would ask parents to talk to their children about riding scooters and bikes safely as we do not want anything to happen to anyone."
