A COOK from Birchwood CE Primary School is in the running to be named school chef of the year.

Justyna Rutkowska is one of six chefs to have secured a place in the north west heats in Manchester at the end of January.

She will have 90 minutes to cook her menu of Cluck Cluck Chicken Stew and Munch Crunch brownie.

The winner will go to the national final in March.
