KIRKBY Stephen Primary School has a new head teacher.
Mike Buckler last taught in Essex but hails from the Lakeland area and remembers taking driving lessons through the streets of Kirkby Stephen.
He is delighted to be back on home turf and overseeing the education of the 210 children at the school.
"One of the reasons I like primary school teaching so much is because it is like a big family and all the children are great," said Mr Buckler.
The school has also taken on a new infant teacher, Bianca Carlisle, from Appleby.
