PUPILS at Witton Middle School were thrilled to meet the British number one 4X pro rider Scott Beaumont when he cut the ribbon on their brand new bike shed.
Headteacher Suzie Bourne said: “When the student council approached the governing body with the proposal for a new bike shed with larger capacity and better weather protection, they agreed immediately.
“Many of our children take part in Bikeability lessons and learn how to ride to and from school safely alongside other road users.
“It is a great way to exercise and it was important that children could store their bikes securely at school."
Scott, whose hometown is Kidderminster, and who has been racing BMX and 4X bikes from a very young age, shared his career highlights with pupils and inspired them with his passion for the sport.
