Ms Clarke said she was not really expecting him to send a chef and feared she would get into trouble at school.

" Everyone went - 'what have you done'? "

She Said The Head teacher, Miss Linington, allowed Mr Cameron into The Kitchen , which " sent a huge buzz around The School , it was brilliant".
