Huge congratulations are in order for Jen, your Star Teacher for Spring/Summer 2026!
The winning nomination, selected by Cheryl from Jo Jingles, was from Tina, who swims at Seashell in Cheadle, and read:
"Jen has been our teacher on and off for past 18 months. She is amazing. My grandson loves her.
Jen always has a smile, makes lessons fun and most of all my grandson listens to her. Apart from the occasional lesson, he excels in the class, learning something new each time. Only problem he smiles so much his mouth is open preventing underwater activities!
He is so water confident. He's aware that he needs to be careful round water and what to do if something happens.
When my grandson isn't playing ball with me Jen always calms me down and I never feel stupid.
Jen is inclusive, and just a completely lovely person. This is the reason why I wish to nominate her. I'm sure if my grandson could type, he would agree!"
When selecting her winner, Cheryl said: "I would be delighted for Jen to win the award - not only is she a fantastic teacher, she’s patient, kind and enthusiastic.
"She shines! Going above and beyond, it’s clear she has a special connection with the grown ups too, giving them the support they need for their child to succeed! Well done Jen!"
