Some pupils get to school by walking, some might get a bus, a lift from a parent, some even ride their bike in.
Not Alfie. He prefers to commute on his unicycle.
The 11-year-old picked up a second-hand unicycle from Facebook after trying a single-wheeler on a whim and deciding he wanted to learn it properly.
Over the course of a weekend, in hour-long sessions, he practiced, fell, practiced again and fell some more until he finally got the knack.
“I would just try and ride from a tree to a dog poo bin, and got further and further, made it to my grandparents’ house and then I made it to school,” explained Alfie.
