Warwickshire Primary School catering team win national award in recognition of outstanding efforts during Covid-19 pandemic
A primary school catering team from Warwickshire has won an award from the UK’s national school catering industry body, in recognition of their achievements in going ‘above and beyond’ to deliver school meals and more during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Educaterers catering team from Knightlow Primary School in Stretton-on-Dunsmore, near Rugby, were one of just three school catering teams from across the UK who were short-listed for the ‘Primary School Catering Team’ title in the LACA Awards for Excellence 2020, the winners of which were announced today (Wednesday 25th November).
The LACA Awards acknowledge individuals and teams who continue to make a real difference to school food and education catering.
The Knightlow Primary School Team consists of Educaterers employees Catering Supervisor, Kayleigh Hall, and Catering Assistant, Tia Nelson. Kayleigh worked as a Catering Assistant with Educaterers for 4 years prior to her appointment as Catering Supervisor in March this year, just before the start of lockdown.
Knightlow Primary School is at the heart of the village of Stretton on Dunsmore. With a population of around 1200, there is a strong community spirit in the village, with families sending their children to either Knightlow or Our Lady’s Catholic Primary School in Princethorpe, where the Educaterers catering team also provide delicious, nutritious lunches.
Knightlow Primary School remained open throughout the crisis, with Kayleigh and Tia diligently caring for and feeding vulnerable children and the children of key workers.
