SIMPLY the best - that's the verdict of Georgia Rae Kilshaw of her teacher Emma Perkins.

Georgia, a year four pupil at St Andrew's CE Primary School, in Mardale Avenue, Orford, submitted an entry form for the Warrington Guardian teacher of the year competition.

She wrote: "My teacher is the best because she is very kind to me and helps me when I have any problems. She is always happy and even makes our lessons fun.

"When I am sad she cheers me up and at times like Easter, Christmas and Halloween she gives us lots of treats and some Fridays she gives us all a treat because she likes to.

"She is very funny and makes me laugh. I am glad Miss Perkins is my teacher."
