A fleet of lorries are rumbling into schools across Oxfordshire as part of a safety campaign.

The county council road safety group and logistics company Exel have teamed up to tell children to keep well away from vehicles when they are turning and reversing.

One of the first schools to be visited by the lorries was the Kings School in New Yatt Road, Witney.

Road safety officer Julie Jones said: "We believe the sight of these HGVs actually in the school grounds will attract a great deal of attention and highlight the need to treat them with caution at all times, whether they are moving or not.''

Lorry drivers' blind spots are of particular concern and these areas will be revealed to the children.
