The teacher who saved her pupils
23.01.09
Nursery teacher Lisa Potts, pictured, saved her pupils from a knife-wielding maniac in Wolverhampton in 1996.
Lisa, 21 at the time, was supervising a teddy bears' picnic at St Luke's Primary School when Horrett Campbell, a paranoid schizophrenic, burst into the school with a 2ft machete.
She shielded the children behind her, taking the brunt of the blows herself. No one died but she suffered deep cuts to her back and her head and severed tendons in her left arm, which never fully recovered.
She was awarded the George Medal for bravery and has since married and had two children.
