Pierre was taken into Southwater Veterinary Group in Telford, where vets gave him a health check and traced his owners through his microchip.Staff had to contact a series of animal health authorities before they could treat him.

Rachel Harvey, practice manager, said: "It was quite a surprise to have Pierre brought into reception, with no idea where he'd come from or how he'd snuck his way into the HGV."Fortunately, he was microchipped and we learned he was registered to a French database."After some digging, Pierre's owner was traced and we managed to speak with her using Google Translate."

Nicole Souillard, Pierre's owner, immediately made plans to be reunited with him.Her pet spent just under a fortnight in isolation at the vets and two weeks quarantined at Dover before she could collect him and take him home.

"This is the happiest ending we could have hoped for," Ms Harvey said.

"Pierre is safely back home in France with his family, none the worse for his travels and certainly with a tale to tell his friends."It is expected to open in September 2026 and will provide places for 60 children in each year group.

Labour Councillor Katy Cole, cabinet member for children’s services at Peterborough City Council, said: “Great Haddon is set to be our city’s newest and largest township, and as such, we need good quality schools for this community to thrive.“We are inviting residents and other stakeholders to have their say on the new school. It’s important that everyone’s views are captured, so that we can consider all this information in the final specification.

“Once the Secretary of State for Education signs off the plans in the spring, we can begin on the task of building and opening the new school.”More than 5,000 homes are being built at the Great Haddon development on Peterborough City Council land, just outside Yaxley.
