OUR Lady's Catholic Primary School nursery teacher Ann Dutton is celebrating a master's degree in education services.

The teacher, from Sandhill Terrace, Latchford, has taught at the school on Wash Lane since 1997 and is a former Liverpool Hope University education graduate.

The 36-year-old previously worked for five years at St Stephen's RC Primary School as a nursery nurse.

Her mum, also Anne Dutton, from Stockton Heath, said: "Ann completed her master's while working at the school, so it was hard work, but she really has done very well.

"I am very proud."
