A KITCHEN manager who has been working at Bow Community Primary School for 30 years has been praised for her “genuine care and passion”.

Julie Dyer began working at the school on Monday, January 6, 1995.

A special assembly was held to mark the milestone and Mrs Dyer was given a bouquet of flowers and a “huge” round of applause.

“Mrs Dyer’s dedication ensures that children and staff are well-fed with delicious meals,” a spokesperson for the school said.

“Her thoughtful menu organisation and commitment to promoting happy lunchtimes demonstrate her genuine care and passion for the wellbeing of everyone in the school community.

“Thank you, Mrs Dyer.”

Bow Community Primary School is a mixed school with around 110 pupils aged between four and 11 years old.
