Our Caroll is nation’s favourite dinner lady


By Faiza Afzaal


A SABDEN woman is over the moon after being crowned the UK’s favourite dinner lady. Mother-of-two Mrs Caroll Slipper (59), who has


% S '®


been looking after pupils in the dining hall and playground at Sabden Primary School for nearly 28 years, has scooped the prestigious title after being nominated by a pupil. The accolade came after the makers of children’s


model collection the Sylvanian Families ran a competition in the UK teaching press to coincide with the launch of a new dinner lady competition. In a quest to recognise some of the unsung


heroes of the school system, thousands of children were given the opportunity to nominate a school dinner lady and a loll ipop person who they thought is a “School Star’’ . A spokesman for the organisation said: “The


competition was stiff, but after two decades of loyal service at the school, the judges decided Mrs Slipper was a worthy winner.” Ten-year-old May Rubery, drew a picture of


Mrs Slipper, a senior lunchtime supervisor, jug­ gling cutlery and a plate of food. In her nomina­ tion form, she said: “Mrs Slipper has worked at my school for 20 years and she is really kind.” Commenting on the news, Mrs Slipper said: “ I


am absolutely delighted. I had no idea that I had won until the headteacher told me. I am pleased not only for myself, but for Sabden Primary School as well.” Pleased headteacher Mrs Sarah Dundon, said:


“ Caroll has been senior supervisor for all those years and she has always been popular and sets very high standards at lunchtime.” In recognition of her achievement, Mrs Slipper


will be presented with a trophy, a certificate and a mystery prize. Nominee May and her school will also be awarded £300 worth of prizes. Our picture shows pupil May, with the nation’s favourite dinner lady. (B121205/3b)

All three youngsters are pupils of Langho clarinettist Katherine Blebta, who said: “ It is very nerve-wracking for young people to stand up in a crowded hall and perform, but live performance is ultimately what music is all about. I am extremely proud of all them.” Our picture shows the young clarinettists with their awards.(s)
