Pupils and staff at a school are trying to raise thousands of pounds to help a former teacher after he was badly hurt in a crash.

Former maths teacher Suhkraj Dhami, 53, suffered a dislocated neck and other serious injuries when a car collided with his bike in June 2023.

Cleo Abberley, who teaches at Coundon Court School, Coventry, is leading the efforts to raise just under £16,000 to help him after the crash and said their pupils were enthusiastic to get involved.

"They've done some incredible things," she added.

The school held an assembly to let pupils know about Mr Dhami's situation and how they could help.

"One of the big things we spoke about was being there to each other as part of our community here at Coundon," she added.

"It really resonated with them because, in the assemblies, we said: 'How would you feel if you weren't just even able to access your own bedroom, when you wanted to":[]}
