Gillian Mays, a cherished staff member at Caister Infant School, has retired after 16 years there.

On July 19, a special assembly was held for her farewell.

Mrs Mays joined the school as a volunteer in 1997, organising events such as the Summer Fete and Christmas Fair, and went onto work in the school office.

Her standout memory is a year when she arrived dressed as Mother Christmas in a helicopter.

The school said she was loved by staff, pupils and families and her contribution will be greatly missed.
