MEET Chloe Blackburn, the youngest headteacher in Wyre Forest.

It was only for a day - but it was a dream time for the eight-year-old at Areley Common First School.

She was voted in as head by her fellow pupils - and then got to boss them about by herding them into lessons at the end of break time!

She had a "great time" said deposed head, Simon Tapp.

Her appointment was to highlight the importance of the school council, he said: "It gave the children a better idea of what a vote is all about and that their opinions about other people matter. It means they can choose members of the school council more effectively."

It remains to be seen whether Chloe's spell at the top will prove a hit with her voters, though - one of her ideas was to introduce a weekly spelling test!
