Elle Macpherson loves doing the school run.

The Australian supermodel enjoys being a hands-on mother to Flynn, nine, and Aurelius Cy, four, and wakes up early every morning to get them ready for school.

She is quoted by Britain's Daily Express newspaper as saying: "My working day starts when I drop the youngest one at school and ends when I pick him up.

"It makes me feel incredibly efficient during work hours, and I really value the five-to-nine more than the nine-to-five."

Elle, 42 - who split from her children's father Swiss financier Arpad Busson in 2005 - also revealed her sons are the reason why she has not returned to her beloved homeland.

The London-based beauty added: "I still feel very Australian. I'd love to move back. But my children go to school here, their father lives here and I don't want to separate them from their father."
