Summary:

Sue Gilroy is confined to a wheelchair but is proving there's nothing she can't do in front of a classroom or behind a table tennis table. As a Year 3 teacher at Shawlands Primary in Barnsley she specialises in science and music, and adapts her teaching methods to suit her abilities and her wheelchair. As a table tennis player she's won the Commonwealth gold medal twice and the British title nine times as well as a string of European titles. In this programme she explains how she's overcome prejudice and disease to be a teacher and a champion.
