A CARETAKER has retired after being associated with a Clayton West school for 41 years.

Jean Fisher celebrated her 65th birthday and her retirement with a special event at Kaye’s First and Nursery School.

She joined the Kaye’s staff as a lunchtime supervisor in 1968 and has spent more than 30 years working as caretaker.

She has also been an evening cleaner and volunteered to work in the school wildlife area. Headteacher Lesley Butcher said she would be sorely missed.
