Wow… what a show biz biography! Not one to ever keep her feet still…. if her toes aren’t tapping you’ll almost definitely find Jayne out walking a woodland trail or coast path! She’s even got medals!!! Ooooooh. What she doesn’t have a medal for though is working tirelessly for the NHS during the Covid 19 pandemic…. we are really proud of Jayne and wanted to say how brilliant we think she is for all she has done for her department, particularly this last 18 months. Here is a medal from us.
We think you most definitely help our students Tap any troubles away! Thank you Jayne for bringing all of your expertise to our team along with your lovely daughter Savannah. It is a pleasure to hear those tappy toes echoing down the halls.
