Haughmond Kitchen Staff Nominated for the Above and Beyond Award
The kitchen team has shown exceptional dedication, resilience, and teamwork during a period of significant disruption. For several months they operated from a temporary kitchen while major building works were underway, yet they continued to provide hot, nutritious meals for every child each day. Thanks to their commitment, mealtimes remained calm, consistent, and enjoyable for pupils, even when working conditions were far from ideal.
What truly sets their contribution apart is not only their ability to maintain high standards under pressure, but the positivity and professionalism they brought to every challenge. They adapted to limited space, an unfamiliar environment, and ongoing logistical hurdles without ever compromising the quality of their service or the warm, welcoming atmosphere they create for our children.
When the new kitchen was completed, the team transitioned back into the space seamlessly, ensuring there was no interruption to provision. Their flexibility, problem‑solving skills, and unwavering commitment to the school community have been outstanding.
The kitchen team has gone above and beyond in every sense. Their hard work has had a direct and meaningful impact on the wellbeing of our pupils, and they are truly deserving of this recognition.
