Leeds headteacher nearly four times over drink-drive limit when she crashed her car on way to school in #Leeds
Lorraine Bradley, who was at the time head of #Rodillian Academy in #Lofthouse, #Wakefield, said the pressure of the job turned her to booze, Leeds Magistrates' Court heard today.
The 57-year-old who has since lost her job and was "not even allowed to clear out her desk" after news of her arrest spread on the morning of the crash.
Bradley was driving a grey Mini just after 7.30am on October 20 last year when she collided with a parked car on Oulton Lane in #Rothwell, opposite the park. She then careered into the path of an oncoming Ford Fiesta.
Bradley suffered only minor injuries.
Bradley was breathalysed and blew a reading of 133 mcgs of alcohol in 100 mls of breath. The legal limit is 35 mcgs.
She was taken to Leeds General Infirmary and then to the police station, where she gave an evidential reading of 107 mcgs, to which she was formally charged.
Bradley, of Midlands Street, #Oulton, admitted a charge of drink driving at a previous hearing in November and returned to court today for sentencing.
Bradley took over as principle of Rodillian Academy in 2014 and helped maintain it as a "good" school in terms of its Ofsted standing.
Mitigating on her her behalf, John Wilkinson said: "It's quite clear that success comes at a cost in many professions. The stress and anxiety of the profession is obvious and she does not hide from that. She has lost her employment, her career and she was not even allowed to clear her desk."
District Judge Tim Capstick told Bradley: "It's a serious charge and it has had devastating personal implications for you. You certainly do not need any lecture from me but you know what the consequences could have been.
"Not only are you someone with no previous convictions but someone of positive good character. You have effectively lost your career. You have lost a great deal."
He fined her £1,000 and ordered her to pay costs. She was handed a two-year driving ban, but offered the chance to enrol in a drink-drive awareness course which could reduce her ban. https://t.co/MLoh8p8OAF

Not quite the same as going to Geneva but our sixth form (and soon-to-be sixth form physicists) enjoyed a live lecture from one of the scientists at CERN today.
