Heather Ashford is Catering Manager at Primrose Hill Community School, in a poor area of Birmingham. Healthy school meals make a real difference to the children living here. Heather has nearly completed her GNVQ level 2 in practical cookery at her local college. We see her in the training kitchen perfecting some new recipes with course tutor Marilyn Rawlins. Back at school, it's parents' day, and there's a special lunch to prepare. Because she provides ongoing training for her staff, Heather has a workforce capable of meeting challenges like this. The lunch gives her an opportunity to encourage parents to support her drive to feed their children healthy, home-cooked meals.
