Kate Kilburn

Kate Kilborn has been delivering Jamie Oliver's Kitchen Garden pilot at Orford Primary School single handedly for 3 years.  Through this work Kate has been teaching children how to cook and grow their own food. Her constant energy has made a huge difference to children's lives giving them a food education that will remain with them for life. Kate's dedication means she has spent a lot of her own time selecting recipes, planning lessons, sourcing and buying all the ingredients she needs. Thanks to Kate when children leave Orford at eleven they can prepare a 3 course meal, fillet a fish, skin a chicken and tell you all about seasonality and sustainable food while they do it! As well as these crucial life skills Kate is also boosting the confidence of many children through their achievements in the kitchen and engaging many less academic children in learning. She really is making a difference to the health and well being of our future generation.
