TWO staff at Petersfield Infant School have received their long term service awards from Hampshire County Council.

Allyson Crew and Jenny Standing have both worked in Hampshire for 25 years.

Mrs Crew started her teaching career in Battersea, in 1985, and now 25 years later is the current Deputy Head at the infants school in St Peters Road.

She said: “I can’t believe I’ve been teaching for so long! Hundreds of children have come and gone over the years, and still I have a great deal of job satisfaction”.

Mrs Standing started as an admin officer at Langrish Primary School, and is now the Finance Officer at Petersfield Infants School.

Both received a certificate and gift in recognition of their long service.
