Jenny was a kind principled and wise person
I met her in the 1980s when I was a teacher in Bradford She was an inspirational leader in The LEA and beyond. As my mentor she helped shape me as a teacher and then as a teacher educator at Bretton hall, a change of teaching context she suggested.
After thirty years I unexpectedly spoke to her and was able to briefly express my gratitude.
All condolences to her family and friends

Jenny was a much-loved collague and friend over many years since Bradford College days and I was glad to publish some of her poems in 'Pennine Platform' poetry magazine. We have lost a lovely and generous soul.
