TEACHERS across Warrington have been working hard to make sure children are looked after during the coronavirus lockdown.
When schools and nurseries were forced to close their doors on March 20, teachers and support staff have been providing a safe space for vulnerable children and those whose parents are key workers.
From going into school every day, to preparing home learning packs, here are just a few of the excellent people you have sent in to us for keeping Warrington's children happy.
1. Carole Barker
Carole works at St Bridget's Primary School and looks after its most vulnerable families, phoning them every day as well as visiting those she can’t reach to ensure the children’s safety and wellbeing.
