Mrs J Chapman, NNEB
I have been a teaching assistant at St Mary’s for 16 years, currently working in many different classes. For the last few years I have been learning sign language and now use it almost every day. For several years I was joint leader of Kirkby Lonsdale Pre-school.
In a past life I was a professional ballet dancer for 10 years, performing in theatres across the UK and abroad with the Israeli National Ballet and Northern Ballet Theatre. I am always happy to share my love of dance and music with the children.
